A review by kubrick2899
War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

4.0

I found Steven Spielberg's film adaptation of this book to be a vast improvement over this source material. It's an interesting story, following a horse through the horrors of World War I, and Michael Morpurgo takes an interesting approach to the story. He tells it in first person, from the point of view of the horse. It's a brisk little read, with large print and only 165 pages, but being so brisk, it lacks the emotional depth that Spielberg's film contains.
