Review Summary: Satisfying
Review: What D.H. Lawrence did so well in this short story was how he fully depicts the potent yet unverbalized influences on the psyche of the boy, as well as the subsequent changes in his feeling and behavior. If I were asked to explain the story to a third person, I would say, "Read it!"

Review Summary: A poetic Injustice
Review: This story is one of tragedy, and loss. A boy doing anything to gain his mothers approval in one way or another. As some would say it revolves around lust, but those are the few whom...nevermind. This would be a very complex story for almost everyone on a mature level. Though some score this story pretty low I give it a 5 out of 5. So if I were you (but i'm not) I would pick this story up and analyze it for all its worth I swear you will see everything in a new light and feel what so many others do.

Review Summary: The Rocking Horse Winner
Review: The Rocking Horse Winner is a deliteful short story written by D.H. Lawrence. The story is about a young man named Paul struggling for the attention of his mother. He feels he can accomplish this by riding and riding his rocking horse. With under-lying sexual tones and a unique twist on the story of Edipius, this short story makes for good reading at the highschool and college level.
