This story about a pure black stallion, was absolutely one of the best stories I have read. The way that the author makes the story sound, as if the horse named Black Beauty is saying his thoughts and what he says to himself and other horses. I also like how the author draws you into the story by the personality of Black Beauty. This is a great story for animal lovers because this story shows how the horses were trained and at the sad parts how the horses were abused. Plus Black Beauty goes to different homes, getting different tastes of different lifestyles until he finally reaches his last home. I thought this story was a great way of describing how a horse felt while going through all of the tough times, when people did not have cars as transportation. So in conclusion this book was great and I recommend reading this great classic book that has been loved for generations.
