A review by heiditighe
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

3.0

This book is a series of anecdotes told by a horse as he ages and moves from owner to owner. Rather than having an overarching story line or a character arc, the book contains many small scenes, many of which are morality tales about the evils of alcohol and/or how to properly care for and treat a horse. This isn't to say that they're horribly boring. The voices are about as entertaining as moralizing voices can be, and it's not a bad read. I don't know that I would have finished it had I not been listening to the audiobook version, but having completed it, I'm glad that I did and I actually was edified by some of the lessons.
