One of my favourite all-time classics: it was interesting to re-read as an adult and to consider the social history, as well as changing times.

It was emotional thus making us interested. It explains how people can be cruel to horses and some other and how there losses feel. It all also say how some kindhearted people help them and that they can even be babies who help.

I liked all of the kind, the people who turned into one and the main character herself.

I recommend it because it shows you how to be kind to to animals, why to be kind to them and I would like to say that no matter where you come from or how old you are that you can always read this miraculous book and learn what being kind actually means.

i liked the main character Black beauty because of all the experience of the horses' stables at that time (the 1850s) but it did include deaths so not too happy, alas, not too sad. Who likes horses can enjoy this book.

An ideal classic. Challenging vocabulary (great for progressing your reading age and understanding of words)
Overall well written.
Slow to start but stick with it.

I would recommend this to other people.

It's an inspiring novel. A heartrending, beautiful, educational classic. My favorite was black beauty because it's an autobiography of her life. I would highly recommend this book to my friends and family. I interested me because
I love horses.

An amazing classic, from a house being burnt to ashes, and many different owners, how will Black Beauty take all of this in?

This book is absolutely brilliant. It is happy but will have you on the verge of tears as you dive into a world of cruelty and hardship with a dash of joy and happiness.

It is like a classic story made up years ago. The author used some good words and expressions.

In this book a beautiful black horse with a white star on his forehead goes on a amazing adventure having happy times with good owners a faces bad ones with others.

I think you should read this book because it is a very old fashioned written style of writing. It is a very emotional story about the life of a horse and his friends. I found it very sad at times but it does end well.

I really like this book and I think you will like it too. Everyone who reads this will feel sorry for Beauty, and especially Ginger, but all together a great read, and very expressive. With this book you never know what's going to happen next, around every bend and turn of the path, a horse will run wild, a young lad will be cruelly whipping a horse or even drunk men riding a horse-shoeless horse. A very exciting story, with cruelty and kindness, wickedness and compassion. If you get round to reading this book, reply to Lady Iguana Waxwork and give me you feedback.

This book is heart-warming and lovely to read.

I absolutely loved this book the first time I read it so I read it again for the summer reading challenge as an audio book. It is really good to read a book from the perspective of horse rather than a human. I hope you enjoy it!

02 Aug 2017

Because at the end a horse makes friends with black beauty!

It is a classical story about a pretty horse and it is like it has been out for years like a fairy tale.
