- Why take human relations advice from Monty Roberts?
By now, probably most of you have heard of the scandal about James Frey's Oprah Book Club bestseller, "A Million Little Pieces." As it turns out, the book, published as an autobiography, has been disclosed by thesmokinggun.com to be fiction.
Debra Ristau, coauthor of "Horse Whispers & Lies", the expose about her cousin, said that many people have contacted her with regard to the Frey issue's relevance to her book and Monty's own allegedly false autobiography.

Rating: - An Extraordinary Legacy
Monty Roberts' "Horse Sense for People" is a good book about an extraordinary person.

He and his wife Pat raised 47 foster children plus three of their own. Roberts said, "I had show there is a better life if you get rid of violence."

Rating: - horse sense for people
This book is an easy read for people interrested in horses- combined with people recoveries. It speks about respect and engaging into the language the person/horse concerned already speaks. It may be revolutionary to people who have a past of/in violence (verbal or physical) even if its just at low levels. It helped me makeing sence of a whole bundle of feelings, ideas, perseptions and ideals. This book does contain one chapter which speaks very direct and hosistic about one particular case of child abuse. ... Read More

- Entertaining and informative, but schmaltzy.
I enjoy self-help/psychology books, and was intrigued by his idea of using body language to communicate with horses.I haven't read any of his other books, so the information about Equus (the language of horses) was new and completely fascinating.
Roberts' main method of transferring his horse ideas to people is by telling heartwarming 'communication' stories from corporations and by telling heartwarming anecdotes about how he saved yet another troubled teen's life with his kind and steadfast nature.
