Summary: Brilliant. Sad
Review: I love this book. My LA teacher had me read it in 5th grade, and I fear I was too young. It is very sad and touching. I cried twice while I was reading it. I am not normally a weepy person, but the author attached me deeply emotionally to Tom and the boy.

Review: I really enjoyed this book when I read it for my literature class this year.Extremly emotional, there were parts where I cried. The author really gets you the story, it was hard at times to put the book down. In the beginning,the langage and accent threw me off, but I got a hang of it after a few chapters...This is probably one of my favorite books I've read, and will ever read. I would recomend this book to anyone who is looking at buying this book. I really, really liked this book. This is a well done novel, and is great for children 11 and up. THis is also a good book for adults too. This book tells how life is for some people, and that's what is sad. This novel had a very happy ending.

Summary: An Extraordinary Book- Samantha
Review: I thought this was a very engaging book. Once I picked it up and started reading, I couldn't stop. The way the author explained everything in the book was just unbelievable. I love the way she used a helpless little boy, Willie, and a lonely old man, Mr. Tom, to create such a thrilling story. If you read this book, you will definately be amazed. Some people, not myself, may be able to relate to this book in some ways. The way the war was going on even gives you a glimpse at the horror people had to face during those times. I strongly recommend that you read this book.

I won't give away the entire story, but I do suggest that you read this extrordinary novel. You will be left in awe to think that anyone could write such a great book. You will feel like you are actually the boy, Willie there with Mr. Tom facing the hardships and troubles. What are you still reading this review for? Go out and read the book!

Review: This is one of the best books I've read in my life.How you expect me not to like it is suprising, I'm a war fiction fanatic and absolutley loved this book. It Might not be the most action packed book, for u big hairy fat men to read and get a thrill out of, but it is an epic story of a boy and his conflicts in the time of a war struck England. READ THIS BOOK!

Review: I loved this book! It started out slower than an encyclopedia, but it got a lot better by the third chapter. Once I got that far I couldn't put it down. I really think that more teachers should push students to read this book, look what happened when my teacher assigned it...

Summary: Incredible!
Review: I read this when I was a teenager. I am now 27, and this book has always stayed with me...yes, it is that powerful. I loved this book not only because it was beautifully written, but because the characters were so real. Mr Tom might be a gruff, saddened old man on the exterior but on the interior...oh, ok...I'll let you read it for yourselves.
