Her 1998 American Heritage article on Seabiscuit won the Eclipse …

I've always been a little snobby towards Seabiscuit, as I'm a devoted War Admiral fan, but this is probably the best book out there that really captures the essence of horse racing, and she picked the right horse to do it with.I'm jealous of this woman, because she writes better than I do. This book had all the tone and pace of great novels I've read, but it was so interesting to keep reminding myThis was, truly, "fast-paced non-fiction." In November 2003, a pioneering member of my book club was the first to choose a non-fiction book instead of a novel. I have been known to bet a couple of bucks on a horse race or two. You ★★★★★ I LOVE this book! Prior to November 2003, non-fiction only entered my reading choices on sporadic occasions.

An American Legend. I don't read very much non- fiction but I just loved this !Laura Hillenbrand breathes life and intimate detail to the world of horse racing. You This was a VERY interesting and engrossing read. I only regret that I didn't live in the time of Seabiscuit's glory! Americans fiercely love athletic heroes because we want to believe that the difference really is in something beyond the physical, that it exists in a big heart and scrappy soul.

Welcome back. The book later became the basis of the 2003 movie Seabiscuit. Laura Hillenbrand did a wonderful job telling their story. Laura writes non-fiction like the best fiction, and I appreciate the way she makes it real. Seabiscuit. That book was Seabiscuit. If anything, the themes are kept on such tight reins and are demonstrated to the audience so often that some will find their repetition heavy-handed. The book later became the basis of the 2003 movie Seabiscuit. What a thrill!This was, truly, "fast-paced non-fiction." All the characters are described vividly, and I cared for all of them.

He beat the 1937 Triple-Crown winner, War Admiral, by 4 lengths in a 2-horse special at Pimlico and was voted American Horse of the Year for 1938. Some audiences might find the parts of the movie slow going and the solemn, documentary-styled narration of PBS's own David McCullough a bit on the heavy side.
