10 lb. Penalty by Dick Francis

5.0

Not so much about horses, but it was an enjoyable read. In this book too, we have a very loveable hero. Ben seemed very mature for his age. Though it was repeatedly mentioned that Ben was only 18 years old, the way he behaved, i kept picturing him as at least 30 years old and his father as a 60 + yr old ! George Julliard came across a very selfish person. But Ben was a son any parent would be proud of.
There were interesting details about British politics, horse insurance, some lessons in physics ...
