Story
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, historian Barbara Tuchman brings to life the people and events that led up to World War I. This was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, of Kings and Kaisers and Czars, of pointed or plumed hats, colored uniforms, and all the pomp and romance that went along with war. How quickly it all changed...and how horrible it became.

Not what I expected
What made the experience of listening to War Horse the most enjoyable?
I wanted to read the book prior to see ing the movie and this was a quick way for me to do that as I was going on a trip.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked that the main character was so changed that neither he nor Albert recognized one another.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I'm not sure I appreciated the narrator. He did not give the horse any maturity as the story progresses. Joey sounds immature from start to finish.
Any additional comments?
Great use of language and vivid description. A little too sentimental and melodramatic.

Would you try another book from Michael Morpurgo and/or John Keating?
This story was interesting to a point, but so much was missing from the description that I couldn't tell the real setting. I'm sure the movie made it thrilling, but I found the story boring and predictable.

Short and Sweet
This title caught my attention shortly after the media blitz for the movie. I did not see the movie, nor read the book, so I can not comment on any comparisons. I enjoyed the short story, and 'quick' entertainment it provided, but rather than thinking to myself "Darn, I wish there was a sequel" , I was ready to move on to another title at the end of the four hours of narration. I felt it was a nice "warm & fuzzy" story but not a strong enough title to put on my 'highly recommended' list. For the most part, this would be appropriate for all ages and a candidate for group listening on family car trips. I would have enjoyed having this available years ago when my son and I frequently traveled cross-country.

Great Listen with My Horse Obsessed Daughter
What did you love best about War Horse?
The story was great and gave my 10-year old daughter the idea to write from the perspective of an animal. She is now writing a book about the lost dog we found and then found a way to get home.

A little too Hollywood
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Depends on the friend. I thought it was too planned
Would you be willing to try another book from Michael Morpurgo? Why or why not?
Maybe - depend on the subject matter. Not really drawn to his style
What about John Keating’s performance did you like?
Good pacing
Could you see War Horse being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I went to the movie. The scenes of horses dying were upsetting, but it is part of history. I don't see any way to make a tv series. Honestly I was disappointed in the movie too.
Any additional comments?
Book and movie got a lot of hype and I'm not sure why
