Review: War Horse

War Horse War Horse by Michael Morpurgo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my....I don't know what words to use to even think about reviewing this book!
It's just amazing in every way possible.
I have only seen the trailers for the movie War Horse, and those had always looked good, but I had never gotten around to actually watching it. Something which I'm actually glad of at the moment. Reading the novel was thrilling and amazing, I was hanging on to ever word on each page. I was rather surprised to find out that the novel is from the horses point of view, I've often found stories being told from the animal could be rather tacky. But War Horse was amazingly written and made you feel like you were right beside Joey throughout the whole war, feeling what he felt.
I won't write too much as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read the novel themselves, but I can only offer up some words of advise....DO IT! You would not be disappointed with it.

It's a true story of courage and love between man and beast and even between beast and beast themselves. It's a story of true friendship, of promises and adventure and even love itself.
