1: confirmation faults
If I have a quibble with the series (and the Saddle Club one), it's that Phil is just too perfect a boyfriend to be believable. And Alex is just too dull, despite his possessiveness. However, the other male main characters are better drawn, more human and imperfect.
In this book, Lisa is worrying because Max isn't letting anyone ride Prancer (who's pregnant with twins). Carole is obsessed with training a new horse and is neglecting her own. Callie is trying to be a better friend to her old friend Sheila from home, but it turns out that this isn't such a swift move.

2: Another great Pine Hollow
Hi Cpaw returns to tell anyone who reads this about Pine Hollow #5. Quite a bit happens in this book. Callie is nervous about her freind Sheila from back home comming to visit, because they had a very competitive relationship when they were younger. Stevie desides to help Callie out and advises her to open up to Sheila, but when she does Sheila writes a tell-all article for national paper. Lisa is going crazy with worry about Max not letting anyone ride Prancer, but then she finds out the mare is pregnant with twins. I was surprised and relived when I read about this, I was glad she didn't have some horrible disease, but later I learnt Prancer died! I havn't read the book yet but I know it'll be great. Carole has cheated on a test to stop her grades falling below a C to keep her riding privliges, and is feeling very guilty. AJ is still acting really weired and Stevie and Phil have to find out why. Also Carole and Lisa have had a fight over Prancer and Carole is getting obsessed with Samson. I reccomend this book to all horse-loving teens, and the whole PH series. I was so pleased when they came out, its such a great series, like a Home and Away on Horseback. (Home and Away is an aussie soap, check it out sometime) anyway, more reviews soon, watch Animorphs, Thoroughbred and any animal story. BYE BYE BYE (Nsync! hehe!)

3: Conformation faults
This book was quite good- ties up some loose ends. However as the book progresses I started to hate Carole more and more. She would have to be the most annoying character. Also I think that information from saddle club books should be the same in Pine Hollow. An example is the problem with prancer- we were told that this would never happen.

4: A Book That was a Little too much Like a Soap-Opera
I thought that the story line was great,but the actual story was a bit sketchy.I first stasrted reading Pine Hollow books when I learned that it involved the Saddle Club's main characters.(Stevie,Lisa,and Carole)Ben seemed like a nice guy and he seems a little shy.Carole is way too obsessed with Samson,the horse, and only Ben seems to notice.When he tries to bring to her suposedly best friends' attention they ignore him and treat him like dirt.I couldn't get over how Stevie talked about if he weren't so weird he'd be happier.Give me a break! I really liked Callie's character although her brother,Scott, had the better judgement.Her refusal to give up was the best quality. All in all the book was pretty good.Bonnie Bryant is and always will be a great author,but the characters are way too shallow,selfish, and uncaring.Lisa is the main example.

5: Not enuff about horses
Okay, I'm a diehard horse book lover. Htere's too much other stuff in these but i gueess some readers like that. Can anyone answer me this question--does Bonnie B write all these books plus SAddle Club? How can she? A really cool mystrey (With LOADS of horse stuff) is SHadow Horse by Alison Hart. I read it five times!
