I'm not a fan of biographies in general, but this book is practically brilliant. You forget that you're being taught a history lesson. If you don't love horses already...and who doesn't?...you will after reading Seabiscuit. What grit, what determination, what in-your-face confidence. We can all learn some things from this legendary horse (and the men who staked their fortunes on him). Oh, and the movie is good, but the book is better.

Wonderful story of friendship, courage, and determination. The book was very slow and hard to read (too much detail). It would have been nice in a form of a novel.

I'm an avid reader and very critical and I loved Seabiscuit. I was very surprised it was written by a female, but delighted. The story was told in such a way I felt I was right there watching it happen live. The races were so descriptive, I felt like I was actually the jockey riding the horse. You were right their sharing their pain, suffering and sadness, as well as, their joy, excitement and pride. The characters were exceptionally depicted; I felt like I knew each one personally. A heartwarming story that kept me on the edge of my seat, very intense, very emotional, a book I won't soon forget.
