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.
