4.0 AVERAGE


A good fast listen. More like 3.5.

قشنگ بود، یک‌سره و توی یک نشست خوندمش. این‌که راوی یه اسب بود برام جدید و جالب بود.
حرفای اون پیرمرده تو چند صفحه آخر، دلم رو آتیش زد.

Nice, but predictable. A good story for children.

I did not care for the horse being the narrator. Especially thinking as a human. The book BLACK BEAUTY did this much better.

Darling and endearing. And told from the point of view of a horse

I did not know this book would be told from the horse's point of view. I was quite confused when the book started, but I wasn't disappointed.

This was a great listen, showing both the horror and the kindness of humanity, told through the eyes of a horse. He met kind people who treated him well. He met assholes that treated him like a tool. And despite being separated from his human, he soldiered on.

I mean, it's not like he had much of a choice, really, but still. It was such a good book, proven by the fact that it made me smile, laugh and made my heart hurt all at the same time.

It doesn’t seem to matter how many times I read this book it always makes me sob! Beautifully written with echoes of Black Beauty written from the horse’s pov.
