Summary: Good Reading
Comment: I found myself enthralled with the characters and what they were going through. Very realistic. Not too mushy. Problems people deal with in the real world, which is why I think it is easy to relate and become engrossed.
Rating: 2
Summary: Disappointing
Comment: When purchasing this book, I expected to read about rodeo and native american life with a little romance. I did learn a lot of the native american way of life and enjoyed reading about it. The romance story line was decent, but not incredible. The only mention of rodeo was towards the end. When the author misinformed the readers and wrote that the flankstrap used in the roughstock events is tied around the animals testicles. This is untrue. The fact is that the strap is used as a conditioning tool and does not harm the animal at all. In fact, some of the animals used in saddle bronc and bareback (which are horse events)are female not male. The author needed to get her facts straight or left rodeo out of the book completely.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not her best work
Comment: I, too, have read Ms. Mapson's other books, and have enjoyed them. I did feel, however, that "Blue Rodeo" was just a tad bit overblown and the ending was...how shall I put it? Well, just let me say that when I read the last page I thought to myself, 'That's the end?' It just wasn't a very strong ending. I did appreciate the the information about the Navajo culture and I yearn to visit Arizona and New Mexico after reading Ms. Mapson's books, but I just didn't enjoy this one as much as her others. I do hope that she writes more though!
