| Reviewer: Karen M. '09 Anna Sewell did a good job writing this book, using very descriptive words
and adjectives. I think it is a perfect book for our age group. It ís about the life of a
horse called Black Beauty. He has more than one name from being passed to so many stalls.
It is the story of the emotions Black Beauty went through and a horse's point of view
about everything. He meets friends, like Ginger and Merrylegs, at his second home,
Birtwick. It really teaches you how hard a working animal's life can be.
I would definitely recommend this book to every horse lover out
there. I also recommend this book to any readers who like adventure and drama and to
animal lovers.

Danielle H. '07 Black Beauty is an awesome book. It is about a horse,
Black Beauty, and how tough his life is. He moves to many different stables because he is
sold several times. He is also mistreated- some leave him out in the cold, some whip him,
some give him a choke collar, and another owner pulls his head back too high. That part of
the story is sad.
I would recommend Black Beauty to anyone who is in the
mood for a good, sad story. I think, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate Black
Beauty as an eight. It is written well, has lots of details and it make me feel like
I am in the story.
