Reviews

This is my second book by this author and I loved it even more than the last one. I have already seen the movie for this one and I did enjoy it.
I loved this book though, getting to see what’s happening through the eyes of the Horse was something that I haven’t read before and it made the story different from other war stories I’ve read. If you haven’t yet read this one and you like historical fiction I highly recommend this one.

This is an excellent book. I could not put it down. Joey is an inspiration.

A solid, simple read. Looking forward to a more visual representation of the horrors of war in the movie. The book seemed to over simplify the war and the harsh treatment of the horses.
