The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

Cue the fricken hallelujah chorus!!!!!!!!!!!  I finally finished this book!!!!!!  This book is a little over 400 pages long.  You could honestly start at a little over 200 and still know or figure out what is going on.  The last 100 pages were good, but then it ended....This book was a waste of time.  It was like a slow soap opera that took forever to just get to the point.  I did like the main characters Puck, Sean & Finn.  They were a good mixture of funny, serious, quirky, goofy and weren't characters that you wanted to smack.  The story is mainly about horses.  There's an island called Thisby where a certain species of horse are found. They come from the sea and are known as water horses.  But just as sweet as land horses are, these water horses are mean and deadly.  They are carnivores and will eat anything in their path, including humans. Every year there is a race, The Scorpio Race, where men of the island race with their lives. This story is about Puck and Sean racing for reasons that will change their lives.  Along the way they find each other.  Like I said, the last 100 pages are good, but other than that don't waste your time! It's a shame because Maggie's Mercy Falls Series was so much better! FINALLY on to the next!
