A review by navii_reading
Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo

3.0

Read this book as a school assignment, bawled my eyes out during the last pages for poor little Tommy since sir couldn’t cry himself. Another thing, it honestly felt like such an abrupt ending like the author had a word limit because there was no ending that was ‘peaceful’ as such. Another critique is that i honestly don’t understand why the characters lacked emotion and had a full rant about it with my classmates, but i do understand he was in a war and stuff but i think we all would feel a little sympathetic if our closest friend or practically twin brother died. All in all it was an okay book, personally i didn’t quite enjoy it however i see how other people would!
