Review THE YONAHLOSSE RIDING CAMP FOR GIRLS by Anton Disclafani

Being a big fan of books like FLYING CHANGES and GREEN GRASS OF WYOMING, I was
so looking forward to this book about horses and young girls, usually a combination with heart. I thought the first
half was decent entertainment. I was interested in knowing more about Thea's
history and issues. But the further I got
into the story, the more disappointed I
became. Indeed the story just disintegrated. I never really understood
why Thea did the things she did. I didn't
find her a sympathetic character in the
least. I was disturbed by the way she
mistreated the horses she rode which I took
as another manifestation of her less than
stellar character. I think in the hands of
a more capable author, this story could
have been outstanding. As it is, I'm sad to
say I can only give the book a 3.
