Not the book for me. I'm not really even sure why it's called the Red Pony at all, when it was only about a pony for the first 3rd of the book.

Written simply, what could be a 10 year old perspective, this book is not for animal lovers. They will die. I will say this, it is a book about life, and while it is fiction, it's real.
