War Horse is about a horse named Joey that is taken away from his owner, Albert who loves him to death. Joey is taken to war and he tells all about the harsh life of the army.

Here is what Amazon says about War Horse:

In 1914, Joey, a beautiful bay-red foal with a distinctive cross on his nose, is sold to the army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western Front. With his officer, he charges toward the enemy, witnessing the horror of the battles in France. But even in the desolation of the trenches, Joey's courage touches the soldiers around him and he is able to find warmth and hope. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer's son he left behind.

Will he ever see his true master again?

Round Two
by: Anonymous

I started reading it again when I got to college. Originally, I borrowed this book from a local library one summer when I was in middle school. I didn't think I would finish it in a couple weeks, but I did all in one week because it was engaging. Morpurgo simply expresses various figurative languages to help the reader experience a dramatic atmosphere in a setting of a perturbation - World War I - while successfully keeping the reader acquainted with each significant characters. I recommend it to anyone who craves a bit of adventure. You don't have to like horses to like this book. If you like the relationship of a horse and rider, this will satisfy you!

A fantastic read!
by: GlitteringGoldenGalaxy

About a year ago, I read WAR HORSE for the first time! It only took me 3 or 4 hours at the most to finish! It was THAT amazing! This is by far the best classic horse novel in MY opinion. I have now read it over 50 times! Also, the movie was fantastic! (Not as good as the book, but still, left me speechless!)

BEST BOOK!
by: epicash

WAR HORSE is a really good book that i'm reading and it's a mix between my favorite animal (a horse) and really sad parts which my aunt calls drama and that the book would be boring without drama. i guess drama helps the book a little bit. i'm hoping to see the movie but i'm debating because my grandma says horses die in it.

Emotional and Beautiful :)
by: Olive

This book really made me love horses all over again :) It's like a shorter, more kid friendly version of Black Beauty. But with it's own twist. Makes you look into a horses eyes and think, 'What have you been through?' I HIGHLY recommend this book, I read it in 4th grade and i'm 12 now, but i still love this book :) Really a visual read. Can't wait to see the movie!!

If you are truly, fanatically, horse crazy, you will love this book. it's also going to be in theaters soon! This book is for everyone. It's historically accurate, has beautiful horses, it's a wonderful story and we as horse owners feel about our horses.

This book is probably one of my favorite books. It is sad when Joey is torn away from Albert to work in the war but I love how it turns out in the end. If you haven't read this book you may think it's too sad and it is really sad. BUT it turns out really happy in the end and if you love horses and books it is a MUST read!

by: Windcall

Very funny, Summer! I had never even heard of Michael Murpurgo, but now I'm afraid to check them out!

Actually, this sounds like a pretty cool book. I'll have to see if the library we use has it! Don't worry, I promise to comment again after I have read the book, just to show you what I think!
