War Horse

Over the weekend before our third turn-in date I realized that's still needed to read another 200 pages or so. And lacking any new books I realized that my grandmother sent me the book War Horse. This book written by Michael Morpurgo, is a story about a horse named Joey and is powerful bond between his owner, Albert, but things soon change when Joey is sent off to be a war horse in WWI. The story is then based around joeys time as a war horse. All throughout this time Albert is waiting to be old enough to join the army. And in the end after a coin toss Joey trips over some barbed wire and is brought back to health than non other than Albert, who fails to recoganize him at first. The author chose a very odd point of view I thought. It was a past tense first person view from Joey. I thought this to be odd since not many books are written from the POV of an animal. Overall this was a good book, however it was a pretty easy book to read, I'd you want a challenge I wouldn't recommend this book.
