The Brewers' Big Horses

Ive never read a Walker book I didnt like on some level-even the ones that dissapointed me at the time have fermented in my head, and Ive come to recollect and appreciate them-what the writer was trying to do/say. This book was (when I first read it) marred for me by it's 'predictable' ending....though Ive read it since, and thought about it ALOT, and now I suspect that that was the point-it was (like so much of our lives seem to be sometimes) written from the end backward towards the beginning....a strong dose of fate and precognition. She didn't do pat endings. ..so I looked again.... I liked it alot.
