This book was very well written, and had lots of great parts to it. It always kept me wanting to read more of it then my reading time was aloud. The excitingness created dramatic suspense sometimes and even made me a little scared, but over all this book was very good.

This book was one of the most exciting books I've ever read. It always had me wanting to stay and read as much as my mind could take. I loved how the author made everything seem like you were there or that you were a part of it.

This book was a fun book. It had a nice heart warming ending to it. It was interesting reading the way Joel never forgot about the horse nut it was also cool that he remembered the horse after all those years.

This book had lots of exciting moments to it. It always made me want to keep reading more and more. Some of the best parts were that it had lots of descriptive detail and lots of descriptive words.
