Brilliant,
By A Customer
This review is from: Goodnight Mister Tom (New Century Readers) (Hardcover)
Goodnight Mister Tom is an epic novel of a christian boy evacuated to the countryside from the war in London. There he meets Mister Tom, a freindly man who helps him not to be afraid, but to show him the meanings of love and care. With Tom's help, he tranforms to a lively active boy, who is loud and also is great company to Mister Tom, lighting his days. This is a brilliant book for anyone to read. It grabs your attention and you just can not put it down. This is one of the first few books which made me cry, and made me feel as if I was there watching the scenes. Not only being an emotional book, it brings you to the past and how children where treated then, making you sorry for children, who where cruely used by strict parents. This is a great book, it won't let you down.

Goodnight Mr Tom,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
What a wonderful story about a boy and a lonely man. How a boy called William becomes a healthy stable boy in the care of Mr Tom. The story is based in the World in England. Children being sent to the country. The friendships that are made and the drama of war. A very touching story that had emotions coming to the surface. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

All-time favourite,
By PiLu - Published on Amazon.com
I first read this book when I was 11, and I loved it. I found it heart-warming and so well written you could get to know the characters. How both Mister Tom and Will grow and come out of their shells is amazing. I've read it several times over these 3 years and it NEVER fails to reach my heart.
