Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen

Expecting another great read in the league of Water For Elephants by the same author, I was SORELY disappointed. Yikes, hard to believe it is the SAME Sara Gruen that wrote these two books. Of course, the this horsey one was written several years ago and was merely re-released following the success of Water For Elephants. It should, in my opinion have been reclassified as a harlequin romance type of a book. It was a weak story, the writing was mediocre, and the main character was a whiny, immature sort who just didn't have the quality of character to be the secondary character in a book, let alone the lead. I just didn't like her, nor did I like the book. I finished it, hoping that it had a redeeming feature towards the end, but alas, a total waste of time. Zippo stars out of 5, IMHO...
