Summary: Under A Different Sky
Comment: Is a great book. I felt connected to it oddly enough. Savage writes in with such good description and feeling yet it feels like your always missing one little detail. I felt as if I knew who Lara and Ben were and how they looked, even though the author gave vague descriptions. I have never read a book like this and I think it is truly wonderful

Summary: Hackneyed and lacking in credibility
Comment: My 13-year-old daughter and I often read books aloud. Both horse lovers, we started on this one with pretty high hopes, but disappointment set in before we finished chapter one. The author clearly knows little about real horses and riding. The whole idea that some lad could watch a couple of videos and from them learn competition-level dressage riding, even though he lacks a saddle and proper arena, is utter nonsense. His "being at one" with his stallion hints [badly] at the erotically horrific (but masterly) "Equus" (Peter Schafer)...or maybe it's just very purple prose. The whole idea that boy and horse think in unison seems pretty dodgy. At the end of chapter one, without mentioning my own reservations, I asked my daughter what she thought. "It's pretty over the top and not very realistic is it? Let's read something else." I guess that about sums it up. (We did try chapter 2, but won't go beyond it; the book doesn't get better. That said, some of the early dialogue is fairly well written...)

Summary: beautiful
Comment: I picked up this book on a spontaneous library visit, and I read it in one day. I was completely awed by the character of Lara McGrath... I saw myself in her and everything she did. Ben was noble to fall in love with someone like her, who is so hard to love. But "Under a Different Sky" gave me hope that people like Lara and I aren't in fact hateful creatures. We are people that can be loved.
