" Great historical fiction novel told from the point of view of a horse used on both sides of World War 1. This author has another good WW1 novel called Private Peaceful. "

" Great story and short read. It's a little predictable, but hey, it's for younger readers and I hadn't read it as a kid. I would still absolutely recommend it. "

" I didn't realize that this was a children's book. Fairly short, quick read that I rather enjoyed. Written from the horse's perspective. A lot of adventure but also emotion. I would recommend to any age. "

" I great book for anybody. Told from the perspective of a horse during World War I. "

" If you're going to read a book written in the first person by a horse, read Black Beauty. "

" There are many things to like about this book: it would be enjoyed by a wide audience, it is an easy read, and the sotry is interesting. That being said, I did not find myself drawn to any of the characters as much as I expected to given the dramatic setting and events. "

" AMAZING!! And the movie wasn't half bad either "

" IT has alot of action "

" Sweet and simple story about a courageous horse during WWI told via the horse's perspective. A quick listen and well told. "

" One of the best books I've ever read! "

" Loved this book! It was a very compelling story and I enjoyed the way the story was told from the horse's perspective, a la "Black Beauty". It really taught me a lot about World War I and I thought I already knew a lot. I highly recommend! "

" What an amazing book. Sometimes funny, sometimes a tear-jerker, always a classic. "

" This book was an amazing, emotional story. It really made me realize how alike humans and horses are. they both can be scared, can love, and have several thoughts. I would've given this book 5 stars, but it has too many main characters dying so i gave it 4 stars. Still a GREAT read. "

" Wonderful. Written from the point of view of the horse, which makes it intimate and a terrific read. Of course, the movie is faboulous, too. "

" Easy read, a joy to dance through the impacting life of Joey. Thank you MM for this book. "

" I was so afraid to read this book .. I thought it would just be too sad. While the story is sad in parts, I did enjoy the read. As opposed to the movie it is taken from the point of view of the horse so you see the story thorough Joey's eyes. "

" Fab book and I love a happy ending "

" Aimed at children but good for all ages. I thought this book was super! "

" I'm finding this book a history of the Second World War quite fantastic even though I have not finished it quite yet but I admit I will finish it soon! "

" I decided to read this when I read that it had been made into a play. The article about the horses that are used in the play (VERY large puppets for lack of a better term)sounded fascinating, but the book itself is just ok. "

" The story of Joey, who is sold into war and goes to France where he experiences the horror of World War I. Albert, the boy who loved and trained him on a farm in England, comes to find him. "

" This book was written in a similar format at Black Beauty. It is written from the horse's point of view during World War I. Some touching parts in which the love between people and animals is demonstrated. "

" Read this after reading about the Broadway play. Was looking for a candidate for a Mother/Son bookclub for my wife and son. I thought it was well done, definitely pulls at the heartstrings, but well done. The telling from the horse's point of view a nice twist. "

" Beautiful WW1 story about a boy, his hires, and the callousness of war. Imagery of compassion and humanity within difficult conditions. Illustrates the confusion of war and the peacefulness of human hearts. "

" Amazing. Even with the simplistic writing (meant for young readers) I wept on many occasions. The horrors of war as it was in 1914 are so real and make you think about where we are today. Told in the voice of Joey, as a horse, is absolutely heartwrenching. Astounding "

" I first read this back in the '80s, but now that it's become a play and soon a film, I'm going to revisit. Great book that deserves to be read again and again! "
