Son of the Black Stallion (The Black Stallion, #3)
by Walter Farley
This one didn't give me the warm and fuzzies as much as the first one did and, to a lesser extent, the second. The first chapter served as a "Last time, on "The Black Stallion..." but relayed to the reader through a couple of guys "remembering" the newspaper stories and such. And the following couple of chapters did a lost of re-hashing as well.
Then there's the horse. Satan. Not as much love there as for the Black and you weren't left pulling for him at all. And Henry!! Yikes! I have to keep reminding myself, different time, man, different time. The first half of the book I was in no way thrilled with. But it finally changed it's tune and got back to what I was looking for.
Satan, the Son of the Black Stallion, is given to Alec as a few month old colt. Fire in his eyes and a killer at heart, and Alec has to win him over and break him in time for the race, the "Hopeful" for two-year old colts.
It was good, but not half as good as the first.
