Favorite: Any, though I found 2nd Wind not as good??? Quiver at the one's featuring cruelty to horses.
We read quite a lot of DF's books during the eighties. In 1989 I caught a virus that caused some memory loss. In the nineties I have managed to collect most of his books and was able to re-read them, fresh, as it were. decided to keep this lot, for a random read now and again and have ordered my last three, published earlier.

Dick Francis is one of my favorite authors.I had the pleasure of meeting him at a book signing in Columbis,SC and he was just as charming in person as the heros in his books.I eagerly await his yearly offerings and I hope I can talk to him again someday.

Привет из России.Я считаю,что DF один из самых выдающихся писателей прошлого столетия. И не только как мастер детективного жанра,но и как выдающийся гуманист и психолог. Несмотря на явно коммерческий характер его произведений, стиль DF сродни Чехову. Его жизнь может служить примером для подрожания, как образец мужественности. Из того , что издавалось в России , я приобрел 23 книги DF, почти каждая- шедевр. Будь здоров дедушка Dick,счастья тебе и всей твоей семье.

The books by Dick Francis are really good. The style of writing puts me right where the action is, so much so I can feel the horses breathing right down my neck! And to think that I have never been on a racecourse or seen a race horse except on TV, in the movies and books.They also have a subtle vein of humor running through them, that I have to take time off and laugh. I hope Dick Francis writes books as fast as I can read them. After reading his books, others fall far short in comparison.

It's my favorite because it was the first I read. I am searching for older books in hardback to complete my collection. Any word about reprinting the older, shorter books? I would love to attend a booksigning, let alone have a signed book!

I like all Francis books. Only the last book - Field of Thirteen - is too melancholy! But I like it too. Most of that books I read again and again. There is much information, which I use in my life.

I love the attitudes of hero in Dick Francis novels. So practical! They do what they have to do - if the consequence is danger, well, in the words of my dear departed mother - "So be it!" Get through it and get over it. Life goes on. I think it's a "horse/animal/nature" sort of thing.

I have been a Dick Francis fan for about 20 years, and wait each year for a new book to be published. I have a wonderful friend in Illinois who always sends me the book as soon as it is published. Much appreciated as I am an American living in Sweden, and not much Dick Francis interest here.

I have been reading Dick Francis since the late 60's and I have never been disappointed! The early books are all papaerbacks (since that's all I could afford!); the last 10 or so are all hard covers! I try to re-read them every year or so, and the message is still fresh in every one!

HAVE TO SAY I REALLY ENJOY HIS EXCELLENT, ECONOMICAL USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AS WELL AS HIS CHARACTERISATIONS. I HAVEN'T MET A DF HERO(INE) I DON'T LIKE YET. 1 QUESTION THOUGH - WHY IS THE GUESTBOOK SO HEAVILY PATRONIZED BY THE FEMALE POPULATION?

My favorite because he explores some thoughtful adult themes in terms of the personal life of the narrator. Here's a guy who seemingly has the great family life and is successful on his own terms in his chosen profession. Yet the spark has gone out of his marriage and he's got to figure out what to do. I was more interested in the resolution of that situation than I was in the actual mystery.

Although I have many authors that I make sure I read the latest from, DF is one of the few whose books I both buy and keep. Great character development; perfect in the eyes of others, yet modest :) I also enjoy the fact that I can find out little bits of esoteric information, ranging from antiques to wines. I'm sure a lot of research goes into those details.
