I gave this book 3/5 stars

This story is about friendship, survival and reconciliation. I liked how he was passed to different owners throughout the book because it shows those different relationships, because of each owner´s way of treating him. I liked the portrayal of the man´s survival AND the horse´s survival during the war and it made me feel that I was also there living through that nightmare. I did give it 3 stars mainly because I sometimes didn´t really understand what was going on. Overall, it was a very good read
