#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A compelling portrait of three people who love each other but can’t break through the self-created walls that keep them apart.”—Chicago Sun-TimesHis name is Tom Booker. His voice can calm wild horses, his touch can heal broken spirits. And Annie Graves has traveled across a continent to the Booker ranch in Montana, desperate to heal her injured daughter, the girl’s … her injured daughter, the girl’s savage horse, and her own wounded heart.

Overcoming pain and heartache and trauma can be deeply moving. Be inspired. What would you do for family, your beloved animal, yourself to love and heal. An outstanding book.
This book had me until the ending, which didn’t seem realistic. It’s well written with an interesting premise and characters who live on the page. With a different ending, I might have given it five stars.
I read this book with my book club years before a movie was even proposed, and we all thought that it was styled to be turned into a movie. Some of us predicted that Robert Redford would be cast as the horse whisperer. Honest. Apart from being seers, we generally liked the storyline, the characters, the descriptions of the settings, but felt that …

The Horse Whisperer is the book that started my fascination with Nicholas Evans work. I have read it several times over the years, and re-read it again as a buddy read with my mother. It was lovely to re-experience this wonderful story with my mother, and get to see her enjoy it for the very first time.
I won’t go into the story here, as …

It’s a fascinating book that illustrates a variety of emotions. You are carried away with the pleasant descriptions of nature and the thoughts of the characters.
This book is tragic but it is written in a way that you can’t wait to turn the next page. It is has two plots. The main plot and the sub plot that move toward each other in the end. Horses, ranches and love what is not to love about that!
This is a story of a broken girl and a broken horse and the forces of love the help the whole family mend. Strangely sad ending.
This is one book that will stay in my collection. Years ago when the movie came out I saw it and loved it. I had never read the book but I found it at at my local library on the ” Free Books ” cart so I grabbed it. It sat on my office book shelf for months and one day I decided to read it. It grabbed my heart and made me feel emotions like only a …
Love love love this book and the movie.
Nicholas Evans always makes his audience think. His stories are heartwarming in unexpected ways. Great characters put in situations where they have to rethink their beliefs. I always enjoy his books.
Family fractured by a horrific accident heals with the help of the horse whisperer. Rather abrupt, unsatisfying ending.
The book is really good and i like the movie too and i have not listening book yet.
I am a horse person and work with an equine assisted therapy program. This book tore at my heart from the viewpoint of horse and rider. A story that again shows the power of an equine connection on many levels.
A few love stories all rolled into one with a bittersweet ending.
I read this a long time ago and remember liking it greatly. It is a good story but frankly I do not remember too much about it as I read a lot!
A story you want to keep reading and not put down.
