“I really like this book because it tells of war in the horse's perspective where the horse gets torn away from everything it knows to becoming a war horse. A thrilling tale that will leave you crying in the end with joy.”

• Rated 3 stars

“Michael Morpurgo tells a great story. I'm comfortable with his writing style. Joey, a thoroughbred horse, recounts his life and experiences during WW I. He experiences several turn of events and has highs and lows. Makes you consider how senseless war can be. Two soldiers, one German and one British, come up with a great solution. ”

• Rated 5 stars

“the author, who has written much on ww i, writes here about the war from the point of view o a horse. the horse, who goes to war with the soldiers, works for germans, english, and frenchmen throughout the war, serving as an officer's horse, a horse bringing in the dead and wounded, a horse pulling weapons and so on. the author's use of the horse allows her to see all sides of the war and to be sort of dispassionate. imagine if all quiet on the western front were told from the point of view of the butterfly that is reached out to at the end of the movie.
you cannot imagine the horror of war and especially this war. maybe this book will help.”
