THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
reviews
Great book to read!
This was the first Diehl's book I bought at college bookstore when I was a college student in late 80's (since the book was written in 1987, I probably bought it during that year or after). After I finished the book, I just loved it! That lead me to buy and read all of Diehl's books afterwards. All of his books or most were good. I bought a used Thai Horse book at used bookstore today because I wanted to read it again. I guess I just love Hatcher's character and perservence and that he never gave up hope.
THAI HORSE
A great read. From beginning to end it just kept picking up speed. Couldn't put it down and sad to see it end. This is three for three with me with William Diehl.I rate The Hunt and Eureka as really terrific reads as well but Thai Horse was best.
Horse Play
The plot line, story and characters were good I just couldn't get into the book due to the writers (Diehl) style of writing. I had first read 'The Hunt' by Diehl and noticed it then but I thought I would give Diehl another chance especially with the plot line which interested me enough to try it. Diehl goes off on tangents and has very long sentences.
Very tough to read. I will not read another Diehl book.
Not that Great
Interesting characters but drawn out without much plot and a lack luster ending.
