юрий шатохин shaman60f1d6 — Blumenthal introduces readers to horse-rescue programs that are integrated into the prison system with this gorgeously illustrated title. It follows the story of Blake, a young man sent to prison for stealing money to help pay his floundering family's bills, and a retired racehorse, Black Diamond. Black Diamond was at the top of his form until an injury cut his career short. When he arrives at the prison farm, Black Diamond is upset and cagey, but responds well to Blake, who becomes his caretaker and best friend. The two of them recuperate and rehabilitate together - which means that Blake eventually must leave. A happy ending awaits, though! This is a book with a lesson that doesn't even need to be pointed out - children will 'get it' immediately. An author's note provides background on the retired racehorse program that works with correctional facilities. The pastel illustrations by Miles Hyman knocked me out - soft and vibrant, and period appropriate!

Sagar Shah sagar_shah — If it weren't for the controversy around this book, I probably wouldn't remember it a few years later. I enjoyed Angels and Demons much more, and actually felt it was more controversial. I thought the first 3/4 of the book were pretty good, but the end was a stretch.

Josecarlos Fernández jocafehe — Great early 20th century mystery stories. The copy of the book that I have has four short stories in them featuring the no-name detective from the Continental Agency in San Francisco. I enjoyed them, but I think Dashiell Hammett is a little better at longer works; there's just not enough space to really work out the stories. Interestingly, the last story in the book "The Farewell Murder," is roughly the plot of the third movie in The Thin Man series, "Another Thin Man."
