Book Reviews of Good Night, Mr. Tom
Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
9 years ago I was assigned by my 8th grade english teacher to read Good Night, Mr. Tom. Up until that point, I had not been very impressed with the books my class had been assigned. I assumed this book was just going to be another boring book I'd have to suffer through, but as soon as I started it I found it difficult to put down. I read it whenever I could, and found myself completely engrossed with it. I absolutely loved the book, and when I was done reading it, I was glad that I had been assigned it. I kept the book over the years, and today I pulled it off the bookshelf. I haven't read it since 8th grade. I started reading it out loud to my fiance, and am one-third of the way through it already. He seems to be enjoying it as well, as I thought he would. I know the title doesn't sound that thrilling, but if you've never read Good Night, Mr. Tom.. give it a chance. It just might suprise you. If you too, love this book.. perhaps it's time to take it off the shelf, dust it off, and rediscover the world of William Beech, and Mr. Tom.Book Review: Excellent book....
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very intense but a good read. It is about evacuees from the London area because WWII was beginning. This particular town is painted different than most during this era. The people are nice and giving. If anyone does misuse the children they are put out for it! The major characters meet each other and both are not too sure of the other. It tells the story of a lost soul bringing healing to another lost soul. There are some intense and disgusting scenes but when you come out on the other side it is worth it! I don't recommend this book for anyone under the age of 12 or 13.Book Review: Excellent read

This is a wonderful family story. You will cry. You will laugh. You will picture the setting as it is described so well. The characters are all so wonderful. This book will open so many doors to compassion in the readers heart. Others gave a story over view. This story is clean. It deals with some tuff subjects but in a historical setting that open's the door to having a picture of what children and families endured during the war. You won't be able to put it down.Book Review: Exceptionaly Wonderful Book

Summary: 5 Stars
Good Night, Mr. Tom was one of the greatest books ever writtin. It is about a young evacuee from London. He is staying with an old man that is out of the way and keeps to himself. It was a great story about the relationship that grew between the two characters through the book. Near the end of the book, the heroics was an exelent way to end the book.
