    Personally, I think War Horse is a good book but I think it doesn't need to be a book,film and theatre production.

    I'd like to see the film, but i don't know how violent it is. the book is good though.

    Yeah, my friend let me borrow a special edition of the book (hardback and beautiful pictures)! It was really good and I hope to see the film!

    I think it deserves to be after I read it and found myself crying once or twice.It made me feel really emontional.

    I LOVE MICHEAL MORPERGO BOOKS! Most of his books have made me cry, even war horse but, I end up reading it again because I love it so much. I have always wanted to see the play and now there is a film, I cannot wait to see it. (btw: I TOTALLY disagree with MCFAN )
