Query: The beginning of the downward spiral

Silver's first two books, "To Stir.." and "To Ride.." were fairly decent, although there are better books available. I enjoyed reading them both, and still recommend them to beginners along with other material. This book, however, is where she starts to go downhill. Throughout the book I felt as if she were saying "Well, I know I said do things this way in the first two books, but actually you need to ....." Everything from this book onward that I've seen by this author is a waste of money and paper.
