[Gaynor Evans · Rating 4 out of 5]

I went and bought this one especially because I had enjoyed the first collection so much, and I enjoyed this one also. I know that these books are for preteen up to midteen girls and probably for the U. S market, I was just put off by the heavily religious tone of the books. I'm not going to justify my lack of religion or judge anyone who has God in their lives, it's just not a style that I had come across in British kids/girls books and it is HEAVILY featured throughout. I still stand by my 4 stars because it did always make me want to know what happened next. Let's just say, if the story hadn't been so good, I may have abandoned the books instead of reading the whole series. However, once I finished the lot I felt that it would be nice if the author wrote one now with Tricia as an adult and tying all the loose ends up as it just seemed to stop. You could find out if she ended up with Red, if they had kids, what about all the other people? The books were written in the 90s. I would even wade through the religion just to read a final book.

If you havent read the first book or you are planning on reading it i woundnt suggest reading this review.

As I started the 2nd book of Golden Filly by Lauraine Snelling I was excited to see what would happen next. I expected to it to be excciting and heart racing like the first book. Suprisingly I didnt get what I excpected. I wasalmost ready to put it down.

Golden Filly is a true story and a continuation of the first Golden Filly. When Trishes dad dies from lung cancer during the biggest race of her life and then she has to give her horse away she is devestated. She worries she'll never get over the pain.She thought her life was over. Slowly.....she became closer to God and she really did'nt know it. Whe she thought he was giving up on her when she needed him the most. When really he was lifting her up.

Golden Filly 2 is the following tragic story of the origanal Golden Filly. This is a great series. Unfortionaley i excpected more out of this book.I prefer the first one better. Golden filly is a good book to reead if you love to read and have tons of time but if not....i'd sip this one.
