I purchased Riding Lessons after reading and loving Water for Elephants. I enjoyed Riding Lessons, could identify with and cared about the characters, but I can't say it was the book Water for Elephants is. In this story an overachiving mother returns to her parents to reclaim her life and spend time with her dying father. She seems to have never gotten over a riding accident in her past and must come to terms with what she was, and embrace what she is. When she accepts that life is not picture perfect and that her parents were not the demons she made them out to be, she learns to accept herself and find happiness. I did at times want to shake her, perhaps this book was better than I thought, and I wish Ms. Gruen would have taken us along on that first time on Hurray, I would have liked that. All in all this book is better than most and I enjoyed it.Read full review
Good book, held my attention. Commute is 2 hours daily so audio books are my only release. The reader was great, and I couldn't wait to hear what happened next. This author is very diverse and has a broad range of interests. Really liked it.
