Thoroughbred #44: Perfect Image

I really missed Samantha and Ashleigh from when Joanna Campbell was writing, but Melanie and Image are two great characters and my favorites from the new generation! Stories of Chris and Star are getting old fast, but Melanie and Image are totally original and great. I hope they get a lot more books!

This is a thrilling book about a girl named Melanie.She is despertaly trying to save h horse(image).Who she thinks would make a wounderful racer.But can she prove this in time?If I were you I would consider reading this book.It is really great!!!!!!!!!Ireally enjoyed reading it.

Joanna Campbell forgot to put a warning on these books; they are very addictive! I started reading the Thoroughbred series when I was eight and now at almost seventeen I am still reading them! I finished reading this book before I had owned it for 24 hours, because one chapter leads right into the next chapter so you just can't stop! I am now waiting for Star's Chance to come out! This book, "Perfect Image", tells us that because Image was pampered so much she is now wild and she may never be able to race especially if that nasty Brad Townsend gets his hands on her and makes her a sway back brood mare before her time! Will Melanie prove that Image can race before it's too late? She only has a week and with all the little incidents that have been happening is it even possible? This book is a perfect book for all horse lovers, especially girls! I love this series and I hope that my sisters, my children, and grandchildren will read them!

Perfect Image was an excellent book, but the only thing wrong with it is that it acted as if you already knew that Melanie was banned from the track, that Kevinw was healed....ect. It was a great book, overall though. I would have thought that Image would have put up more of a fuss when being saddle, after all of her events, even though she trusted Melanie. I am awaiting "Star's Chance" and I hope that it is all I expect it to be!~Jackie~ [email protected]

This book is very good, and I think for once all the facts are straight and it fits into the story. I like this book because the setting is realistic, because we all know that training a horse doesn't always go smoothly. The fact that hey, Vince is not the god of trainers (what he seemed in the previous books) and we see that everyone makes mistakes. I hope that Star, as sick as he is, will recover and win many races, among them the Derby, and beats Celtic Mist. Who knows, maybe Image will be ready to race by then, and let's see, the field for the Derby would be something like Gratis, Wonder's Star, Celtic Mist, and Perfect Image. Now, who would we cheer for there?!? Melanie is back in racing, and I think she will win many races in the future, and maybe she'll be in the Derby, riding against her cousin Christina. One question though, in the Thoroughbred industry, you can not be the owner and the rider at the same time, so who will ride Star, or does he just belong to Whitebrook farm?
