This book was so sad. I couldn’t believe how sad it was. I found it hard to believe it’s meant to be a children’s book, but after my students read it in English I thought I would give it a go and was definitely not disappointed. I would read more Michael Morpurgo.

Holy fuck.

I got no other words to describe this book. Holy hell and heaven and everything in between.

The innocent start, the build up of suspense and then that major plot twist that I probably should have seen coming but didn't because I was too busy crying over Charlie's fate. Before going into a full out sob session as I realized what the plot twist was.

For the love of anything that's holy, please read this book. You wont regret it.

Tommo e Charlie são dois irmãos, apaixonados pela mesma garota, que vivem em um pequeno vilarejo da Inglaterra no princípio da primeira guerra mundial. Ambos se alistam para a guerra deixando para trás o amor de suas vidas.
Esse livro teve grande influência , pois através do seu autor , que mostrou os efeitos psicológicos da guerra, do campo de batalha, fez com que o governo britânico perdoasse postumamente os que foram acusados de covardia. Aproximadamente 300 Britânicos foram levados à corte marcial e condenados com fuzilamentos. Os julgamentos eram feitos em menos de uma hora sem nenhuma chance de defesa...na verdade um julgamento viciado, injusto.
Um livro emocionante!
