Goodnight Mister Tom

I seriously LOVE this book! When I was recommended it by my cousin 30 years ago and saw it was based in war time, I had no interest. My cousin was adamant, so I gave it a go. The very first paragraph was so captivating and descriptive that I was hooked - I was there. Thankfully there's no fighting to do with the war in it so I was glad of that. I have read it many, many, many times and I still find myself having the raw emotions each and every time. I have lent my personal copy to about 6 friends, one of them more than once. My book is now quite battered after being passed around so much, so I'm considering buying it digitally. If you hated the film, please know that this book is thousands of times better. I knew it would be perfect as a film, but they did not do a good job. I almost cried cuz it was so bad! I know it's difficult in films to stick to the book, especially when there's a lot of "thinking" internally, which there is in this book.

This book is truely amazing. I read it at the age of 12 as part of a novel study within my class. After reading this book though it was exeptional, it had its own way of hooking you in and drawing you to it. The first couple of chapters are a little bit boring like any other book but once you get past that it is almost impossibile to put down. The author has her own way of showing not telling,using a variety of language features to extend her description into full detail. I highly recommend this book!! :)

I've actually not finished reading this book but i love it Me and my class have been reading it together as our topic is WWll But i couldn't wait till the end of the weekend to find out what happens so i went and bought my own copy i reccomend this book to anyone my mum's friend read while in her 40's and she cried at the end and wrote the author telling her how much she LOVED it
