Secretariat

by Tatum
(Phoenix, AZ, USA)

Based on an impossible true story, Secretariat is about a race horse who wins the Kentucky Derby and other races with record times that can still not be beaten to this day.

It is a book of faith, speed, and you feel like your the jockey when you are reading it.

excellent read
by: I LOVE MY MINI

the book is confusing a little, but i had no trouble understanding it. It is around 550 pages. secretariat's story is just astounding in real life, especially for those who live by a race track and watch the horses run! (me) i agree it's not a read for under 12, but for those special cases. if you love horses, it's a great real story.

and, if you're wondering how secretariat won that last race in the triple crown, scientist found he had a heart 3x bigger than the average horse!

I checked this out from the library once, and I only finished the first couple of chapters. It was pretty hard to get into, and kind of confusing. But I'm only 11, so maybe it's a book more for older kids.

I wasn't too into this book. I found it confusing, and I'm 16 at a college reading level. I would definitely not recommend for younger children. I prefer Seabiscuit.

Pretty good..

pretty decent book.... very advanced though. includes a lot of bloodline info and family history of 2+ breeders the story is focused on, making it easy to loose track. They do describe the breeding shack scene in depth! Definitely not for kids under 12.
