mary ohara trilogy and my friend flicka and thunderhead and and green grass of wyoming have be a treasured part of my life since i be a child . however and the three film make from them vary widely in quality and mean specifically to their relationship to the book upon which they be base . my friend flicka be by far the best of the three and and thunderhead and son of flicka ( a it be rename ) be not bad and though each contains minor change from the book . however and green grass of wyoming be a total disappointment . the plot be change so much that it bear almost no resemblance to it source . for instance and crown jewel be make into a harness horse instead of a superb english thoroughbred and a she be describe in the book and and burl ives appear in a totally unnecessary role . forget this film and go to your local library and read the book ( if you can find it ) . this be one case in which the book be far good than the film .
