Book Reviews of the Barbaro: The Horse Who Captured America's Heart
Customer Review: Amazing! A true tribute to the amazing Barbaro! Quite possibly the best book I have ever seen in tribute to a horse!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I received this book a bit early for some reason. But I am not complaining!
THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC! I am blown away by every single page! THIS is THE book the FOBs (Fans of Barbaro) have been waiting for, truly!
It is beautiful, and the photographs are nothing short of spectactular! If you haven't ordered this book ... please do! It should be something EVERY FOB has on their desk. It is quite possibly the most gorgeous book I have ever seen!
The hundred pictures or so are all of extremely high quality, and though I haven't had a chance to read it all yet, what I did skim through so far is touching and eloquent! The eulogy at the end, especially the "author's note," is extremely heartfelt and moving.
Most fans have already learned that there are some online chapters, but what a lot of you don't know is how gorgeous the pictures are ... and I have to say that a lot of the pictures are brand new to my eyes! Several of the photos from Barbaro's early races are rare, to be sure ... and there are a lot of stunning pictures of Barbaro and his jockey Edgar Prado that are awe-inspiring!
The love, hope and pain that Barbaro's story evoked just bleeds through every single page of this book! It is 190 pages of pure love!
There are copies of Barbaro's race charts, his pedigree, credits for more than 100 breathtaking photos, and just about everything a Barbaro fan could want in a book! Mr. Clancy put every effort forth one could possibly make to create this superb tribute to America's most loved horse.
This book is truly worthy of being on your coffee table! Bless Sean Clancy for writing this truly inspiring masterpiece! Order it, I promise if you loved Barbaro - you won't be disappointed!
