Every February our local library does a "blind date with a book" They take all genre's of books,wrap them in newspapers & put a red bow on them. Patrons "pick a blind date" check it out and rate the book for prizes. My first "blind date" this year is THE HORSE WHISPERER BY NICHOLAS EVANS. Keep in mind you do not know what type of book you get until you unwrap it,which is part of the fun!
I have a love/hate relationship with these subjects of books. I loved it( I read it in only three days) and I hate it because I cried thru parts of it & I hate to cry while reading,my husband and son make fun of me! This book plays to basic emotions. The characters could be your best friends or relatives . I cried when Grace had her accident. I cried for her I cried for Promise! (I am a horse lover) I was hurt when I read of the extensive damage Promise lived thru. I cheered when Tom Booker started working with Promise & I cried and cheered all the way thru the book.
THE HORSE WHISPERER is a rollercoaster of a book that plays on emotions of the reader. No wonder the movie of the same title did so well. I would give it a ten star if I could.
