I read this: February 2012
Why: I have fancied reading this for a while and was going to see the film so thought I'd read it first
What I thought of it: This is an excellent teenagers book, I would have enjoyed it when I was younger (c. 10 -11) and still enjoyed it as an adult. I love the device of telling the story from the horses view point. I like the way the horses worked for both sides of teh conflict and experienced good and bad equally.
A bit nostalgic at the end, but I think for the age group it is aimed at that was perfectly acceptable.
I don't know if I will go to see the film (might be over sentimental for my taste) but a good read
8/10
