When I read it: 25th October - 15th December 2014
Rating: 5/5
It is now midnight and I have finished the book with a heavy heart and tears threatening to come pouring out alongside my emotions.
I have watched the movie a few times prior to reading the actual novel but if I am being honest, I feel like there was some better moving moments in the movie than the book.
What I do love about this book is a few things; one would be the perspective the narrative takes, an unusual one at that, the narrative of Joey the horse. It makes the whole story a lot more intense and we see the whole thing from a sort of unbiased view.
It really takes a lot out of you as you try to keep your emotions in order and keep up with the story.
As a fan of war shows, movies and books this has certainly quenched my thirst of one of my favourite genres.
Although, a children's book, in my opinion, this is certainly a good read for any age!
