Loved Joey the horse and main character. I liked him because he was the main character telling his story and what it was like to be a horse during World War I. Yes I would recommend it to others. Makes me want to watch the film too.

Would absolutely recommend this read. It is sad as it tells the story of horses during WW1 and what they went through.

The settings jn this book were amazing. You could really feel the atmosphere on the farm and on the battle-field. It's message on the futility of war is very clear. The characters are beautifully described.

I really enjoyed this book for a couple a reasons:

- It was a long book and I LOVE long books

I liked Joey the best because he persevered and joined the First World War’s cavalry even though he was inexperienced . I would definitely recommend it to a friend as it is very interesting and intriguing.

In the chaos of the first world war, unfortunately just one beautiful horse called Joey was witnessed the battle between our soldiers and Germany and in the end he reunited with Albert, the wonderful young boy who served in our army and the love between them cannot be separated

In fiction my favorite character is Albert who looked after joey the horse
I would recommend this book to horse lovers

This made me cry, beautifully written. I love animals

Really enjoyed this book it was very powerful and emotional.

13 Jul 2022

It was interesting and set during WW1 time. There was lots of technical vocabulary about horses and the war. It is written by the perspective of a horse and his relationship with a boy. There is lots of key dates and figures to do with the war.
I would recommend this book to others especially people interested with horses role in WW1. It is written by Michel Morpurgo.

I see why this is the book that made him famous. I always love books based on war so if you do it is a great book for you. It is in a horses perspective so it is sometimes hard to understand but most of it makes sense. It is was old fashioned book so the speed different than us but it still makes sense.

Brillient book

I haven’t quite finished this book but I should be finished soon, it’s a long one.

This book is great because it tells of a story between a boy called Joey and a horse during the First World War. I like it because of their friendship.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes animals and who is interested in World War One.

I really love this book. It's a bit heart touching at the end. I love the book and I do support Sir Michael Morpurgo. I do think It is fiction. Captain Nicholls. I think it will be the best for children and adults as well.

04 Sep 2021

I love it because it is about family and friends and old friends. I can talk all day about how much I love it. I would recommend this to people who like war and family and adventure and horses. My English teacher recommended this book to me.
