I wasn’t into reading at all two years ago. I remember my mum giving me this book to read on holiday and me saying “Do I have to read’’ and my mum saying ‘‘yes, it’s good for you’’ and she was 100 percent right. This book changed my thoughts on reading all together. It is absolutely brilliant and I’ve read it three times all ready and it brings a tear to my eye every time. The story behind the war and the conflict is beautiful and I will read it for a fourth time very soon !!!

Private Peaceful is definitely my favourite Michael Morpurgo book. Our class studied it in English and it really made me appreciate so much about life: the way families look out for each other and how the Germans weren’t our only enemy during the war. My favourite character is Big Joe because he’s really kind and loveable, yet so misunderstood by many people, I wish I knew how Michael Morpurgo can always dream up such fascinating characters.

The book War Horse was good because we have never read it.
The book was about a war horse and that’s what we know because it on the front cover!
(I don’t know private peaceful is because I have never read it but I think its about a gun.)

Brilliant! I finished this book after only TWO days of reading it! I could not put the book down. The end was very sad and I nearly cried! I’ve read Farm Boy and War Horse but Private Peaceful is the best! I’m really excited to see the movie! Does anyone know what Michael Morpurgo book I should read next? I’ve been thinking about Waiting for Anya, Alone on the Wide Wide Sea, Shadow and My Friend Walter. Can anyone tell me which is the best one??!
