The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

I enjoyed this book.  It's more substance and less flash than most teen books. It's a little slow going but interesting.  Although, I might be biased because I love horses and their central to the story.   I was hesitant to read a book by Maggie Stiefvater because I found her book Shiver to be so boring I couldn't finish it.  Because the sea horses in the story are meat eaters it's a little violent. There is one line that I found to be too gory it's on page 54 towards the top. Sexually the book is suitable except one crude comment on page 68 towards the top.
