Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read almost all of Dick Francis' books and this book really surprised me. Instead of giving me just a rollercoaster-ride, this book went from suspense to Literature. The wonderful character-building and the heart-warming story of a boy growing to be a man and his relationship with his father, is just beautifully written.
There aren't many horses in it, but who cares with qualities like the ones I've just mentioned?

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Japanese woman in early 30's. Dick Francis never let me down. 10lb Penalty also became one of my favourites. Dick Francis always gives me thrill, excitement, real personality, a quite a few sentences which amazingly share my feelings and emotion in everyday life. As I am Japanese, I am most grateful of his high standard English from which I can learning much better than language text books. I wish to thank Mr. Francis personaly for giving me these opportunities. I am certain to read all of his books in near future.
Format:Hardcover
This is way below par for Dick Francis. A ponderous, weak storyline where very little really happpens and characters that are instantly forgettable.
Sorry but there's much, much better elsewhere. Try 'Wild Horses' by the same author instead.

The worst novel I have ever read
This book is a classic of mediocrity. It is the only Dick Francis I have read and I am not prepared to risk another. Read more

Enough is Enough. All great jockeys need to retire sometime!
Dick Francis has written many fine crime thrillers. He always sticks to his winning formula and usually produces a readable book. Read more
