I read this book quite quickly. Maybe the low reading age helped, but I was also moved along by the pace of the book.
The story is about a horse that is plucked from rural England and used in the battlefields of World War 1. What is interesting is that it is told exclusively from the horse's viewpoint. Somehow the author did this without me having the feeling that he was anthropomorphising the creature. The story is a little sentimental, but not unrealistic. As I have faith in the author's integrity, I am confident that I learned a bit about the war and the world at that time.
All in all, a story with a beginning a middle and an end, which leaves me very keen to go to see the well spoken of dramatisation.
