This book was so good! It's a great reminder of the feelings that animals have, and that we should care how we treat them. Though it was a little slow-paced, most classics are. I appreciate how the book followed the majority of Black Beauty's life. It does have a happy ending. I like the recurring characters. It was a very realistic book that didn't shy away from how horses were treated during the time period. Black Beauty was an easy character to root for. If you care about animals, you should read this book.
