War horse by Michael Morpurgo (hdew)


This is a war novel/adventure

This story is set in the first part in Devon then in the second half in the French trenches. The main characters are Albert and Joey. At the outbreak of World War 1, Joey, young Albert's falls in love with a horse, which is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. His rider Captain Nicholls is killed while riding Joey. The horse is soon caught up in the war; death, disease and fate take him on an extraordinary odyssey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No man's land.

I enjoyed this book very much because it makes you feel a lot of emotions such as sadness and happiness at the same time. This book is very well written. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to read. I think that he has achieved his goal as a writer because he has written so many books. The author tells us that war is a bad thing and that he values friendship.
