But then he is summoned back to London by his mother...you'll just have to read it! Goodnight Mr Tom is my favourite book, mainly because of its humour and sadness.Book Review: A real tear jerker, but a great book.

My son had to pick a book from a long list to read over the summer for school. After reading the reviews for this book, we chose it. It was a very touching story, sad in places and happy in others. You really are cheering for Will and Mr. Tom. The author uses colloquial accents of rural England, but you really get used to it. My son is reading the book now and isn't having a problem understanding what the characters are saying. He is also enjoying the book a great deal, and having a hard time putting it down.Book Review: After years, continues to be my favorite book.

Good Night, Mr. Tom is without question one of my favorite books. As a college student, I've read a lot of books. The story in this book is more powerful than most of the intricate symbolism in most classic works of literature.Even without having read it for years (but having read it half a dozen times), the story of Willie and Mr. Tom is still something I think of often. I can't speak highly enough of the book. Buy it, get it from the library, borrow it, READ IT!

I decided to read this book for seventh grade accellerated reader. This great piece of literature has quickly become one of my all time favorite books. I'm very hard to please when it comes to books. When you read this, you become so attached to every last character. It is truly amazing.
