This is one of my favourite books which is about the war and I’m going to do a book review report on why I enjoy this BOOK.
The author – The author is Michael Morpurgo who has quite a lot of books and quite a few of them are based about the war like War Horse [ Also now a movie ] so I would also recommend some of his other books.
The Setting – There is a boy with his mum on a train and this other mysterious person who is telling them a story about the World Wars and how this man called Billy Byron who could of prevented the World War 2.
These are the main characters …..
- Billy Byron who is a fighter in World War 1 and World War 2.
- The mysterious man who is telling what happens in the war.
- The boy and his mum who is getting told in the war.
- A girl called Christine who Billy saves in the War and falls in love with.
- And some of Billy’s team mates who also fight in the war.
The Genre – War , Fighting and action.
What Happens In The Book??????????????????????????????????
- Billy and the Allies won World War 1.
- Billy decided not to kill the last German after World War 1 because there was no point.
- That German he didn’t kill was actually Adolf Hitler .
- In World War 2 Billy recognised the man who started World War 2 and knew that he had made a mistake.
- So the story is all about Billy trying to fix his mistake.
I would recommend this book to people in Primary 4 and up to the end of High School because this book has some mature features but also a great example of what it was like in both Wars.
If you read this book then be prepared for a blood-pumping adventurous story filled with twists and turns . This book is especially good if you’re interested in either World War 1 or World War 2.
This is definitely one of my favourite books because it has a lot of action adventure and it warms your heart at some parts of the story.
So go ahead and buy this book if you’re interested!!!!!
