"Will always hold a special place in my heart."
Naomi Sutton
"It’s a great firsthand account of an animal in war and makes me cry so much every time I pick it up. 😭 I’ve read this at least 4 times and seen the movie. Both are amazing. "

"I am generally not a fan of books with animals as the protagonist (there are a few exceptions), but this one was actually very educational. It really opened my eyes to a side of WWI that I never knew about."

"This is from the horses point of view at first I got confused and thought it was from the persons point of view "

"I listened to the audio version mostly while ironing over the course of a few months. I think it will years before the voice actor stops saying "...not my Joey!" in my head every time I hear the name."

"It was so good I stayed up for hours to finish it. It's shorter than the other books I’ve read, but full of adventure and heartfelt."

"Eh. I thought I would really like this book because when I saw parts of the movie it looked really good. However, I started reading it and it just couldn't keep my interest so I decided to just watch the movie instead. It's weird because I'm never one to stop reading a book but I decided I shouldn't waste my own time when I could be reading other books. I'm not saying the book was bad, in fact it was good - just not for me."
