A moving story that ends on a good note!! Could not have picked a better narrator!!

The narration was fantastic as this was my first John Keating, and I will look for him again. I did not see the movie as the books are much better. I enjoyed this book too bad it is so short. I believe this is a great read for young children to get to know WW1. There is some of the harsh side of war, but it also shows the kindness of men in tragedy. It would be too much for younger children due to the loss of life. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone wanting a good short read. It is a wonderful story and I plan to see the musical as it come to San Francisco this summer.

Sweet, unique, uplifting

I love that it is told from the perspecitve of the horse. The movie couldn't do that, but the book can.

I loved the folksy nature of his telling. I felt I was in another place with his voice, and that was good.

I couldn't, I listen in the car to and from work, but I looked forward to driving somewhere - and that is a good thing with gas prices where they are.

It is different from the movie, but not in a bad way. I am glad I saw the movie first, this filled it in, made it richer, and gave me visuals to work with while listening. I only wish I could have gone with my parents to see it on Broadway too.

No. I would tell anyone interested in this story to read it themselves. The voice was very distracting. It sounded robotic and the intonation, especially at the end of the sentences, was distracting. The reader had to do several different accents, not all were well-done. After listening to so many gifted readers, this was truly a let down.

It was very interesting to have the horse relating the story.

John Lee may have been a good choice for a reader.

Yes, the story was very good. My 3 boys didn't seem bothered by the voice.

The movie was powerful and moving but the book really made the people the story was about come to life for me even more so than the movie did I loved and I know I will listen to it time and again.

That the story was told by the horse

I don't know any that has moved me about an animal like this one did

Emily's grandfather

never do.....I listen to audible books when I walk my dog

love listening to all kinds of stories

Very engaging storyline full of empathy and suspense. The plot really pulls you forward and never lulls.

Excellent narrative performance. Very engaging and wonderful accents for various characters.

This is 4+ hours of delightful enjoyment! Once again, thank you Audibles for the buy 4 books get $10.00 bonus, you are a class act.

Didn't read the print version. The audio gave me the passion of the horse that print could not ever have done.

The horse was my favorite character. You felt how he felt. You cared how he cared.

Again it is the horse. He personified the emotions and showed a wonderful side of the horse.

I wanted to cry at times, however, the author kept you from totally breaking down. The horse's reaction to conditions were such that you knew you were dealing with a horse, not a man. But the emotions were strong.

This would be wonderful for adults or teens. I would like to thank both the author and the reader for telling a story so caring and fulfilling.
