DID NOT FINISH

DNF’d at 15%

This was my favorite during childhood but trying to read it now is painful.

I’ll always have the memories though.

This is such a classic read and I really enjoyed reading it but I did found it slow to read and some parts of the book did bore me and didn’t grasp my interest at all. I can appreciate the story behind black beauty and I can appreciate how it’s told and how it’s written. I really didn’t like the animal cruelty in this book at all and I found that very hard hitting to read. The way the story is told is done really well and told in so much detail. Overall it was a okay read, xx
