John Steinbeck’s “The Red Pony” was absolutely astonishing! His writing was the best I’ve ever, and probably will ever see from the 1930’s. To give my honest opinion about the grammar and all of the emotion put into this book, or short stories. I would give this a 4 out 5 stars.

Ten year old Jody Tiflin would have a complete surprise when he awoke from his slumber to see a red colt named Gabilan. His family would have taught him good manners and posture over the last nine years of his life, and gives well respect to farm hand Billy Buck. During Jody’s school hours, Gambian would be left out in the rain only to get sick, and soon after die. This leaving Jody mean and scared for a certain amount of time.


Many people over the thousands of reviews of this book have been giving it 3 to 2 out of 5 stars over the years. Now don’t freak just because I gave a little of my opinion on what has happened, I’m just foretelling some of what people has done. Now I myself will give this book a 4 out of 5 stars for this fascinating thrill of a coming-of-age story.



In the end I can say that I enjoyed this book very much, and I may say that most of my class enjoyed it as well. I hope to find this book somewhere again out on the shelves and I can’t wait to see all of your excellent comments on my review.
