Book Reivew: Whispering to Horses

Book Title: Whispering to Horses
Author: Thomas Nye
Genres: Amish
Publisher: CrossLink Publishing
Publish Date: 2015-11-02 (52 pages, Paperback)
ISBN: 9781633570412
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through the BookCrash.com book review program, which requires an honest, though not necessarily positive, review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. There an affiliate link at the bottom where if you click it and buy the book. I get a little commission.
Description: An old fence separates a modern community from their Amish neighbors, until a little boy opens the gate and breaks down barriers between them. A young man inherits property that borders an Amish farm and assumes his neighbors are simple people. He doesn’t like little Eli, or his family, until he actually gets to know them. Matt soon discovers a simple wisdom and maturity in Eli that astounds him. A few twists in the story take Matt to a place he never set out to go. Eli and his little sisters will touch your heart by Whispering to Horses.
Whispering to the Horses could be a bit longer. The author could get quite a few ways with this. It would be great for a series. I would also enjoy learning more about Eli and Matt. This is good introduction of how it important to be Amish in your community. You can even learn from each other as Matt and Eli did. They seem of made a fast friendship.

It was nice to see it from another viewpoint as of Matt a business man. How he starts to understand what the Amish doe and how they go about life. How our world may be more difficult because we make it that way. We should probably take a look at our neighbors and learn from them if they are Amish or not and try and make life simpler is better and making family more important.

Eli show what hard work is and how a nine year old can be more mature than any other nine year old. For he takes on responsibly like a man does for a family. He does not show or act like no other normal nine year old in modern day. As the Amish can learns from us, we really can learn from them and their lifestyle.

Review: Wait... Wait for Thunder

Title of Book: Wait...Wait for Thunder
Publisher: Createspace
Author: Buck Jones
Pub Date: April 21, 2012 (282 Pages, Paperback)
Genre: Cowboys, Ranching, Horses, Dogs, Historical Fiction
Book Source: Received from Author for an Honest Review

Synopsis: None Written

My Thoughts:
This book is about Friendship. You also learn about ranching in that time. It about Luke and Ray and North Flat Ranch. There some Historical in the book.

It based on a true story with some fiction in it. I completley story. You learn somewhat what to do when in a thunderstorm. Though most of this book is about cattles and the lives of Luke McKeever and Ray. I really enjoyed this book and I was really would recommend it if you you enjoy Cowboys or Ranching and a bit of History.
