Writing: Write a book review

Either:

1 Write a review of a book you’ve read. Describe the characters, the descriptions and the story
and give your opinion of the book. OR:

2 Read the notes below and write a review of the children’s novel, War Horse, by Michael
Morpurgo.

answer:

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo is the story of Joey, a horse that is sold to the British Army at
the beginning of the First World War. He is sent to France and is ridden by Captain Nicholls.
However, Captain Nicholls is killed in the fighting and Joey is given to a younger soldier called
Warren. While he is with Warren, Joey becomes friends with another horse called Topthorn
and they have lots of adventures during the war. Later in the story, Joey and Topthorn are
taken by the Germans. Topthorn is killed, but Joey works for the German army until the end of
the war. Although this book was written for children, I really enjoyed it. The story is very
interesting and the characters are described very well. You can really imagine what the First
World War was like. It's a beautiful story, although it's also very sad and it made me cry.
However, there is a happy ending because at the end of the war Joey is returned to Albert,
who was his original owner before he was sold to the army. I couldn't put the book down until
I got to the end and I can definitely recommend it.
