      From the reviews of Seabiscuit:

      ‘A terrific yarn, beautifully written’

      SIMON BARNES, The Times

      ‘A first-rate piece of storytelling, leaving us not only with a vivid portrait of a horse but with a fascinating slice of American history as well’

      MICHIKO KAKUTANI, New York Times

      ‘A terrific story … Hillenbrand not only ties divergent personalities into a fast-moving narrative but also shows an extraordinary talent for describing a horse race so vividly that the reader feels like the rider’

      RON FIMRITE, Sports Illustrated

      ‘Hillenbrand tells the story of the triumphs and tribulations of her cast of misfits with flair and skill … a rip-roaring narrative’

       Sunday Times
