" Whatever lies ahead for you both, remember that to him, you are all his life"
This books low-key made me cry and wish i had a dog who loved me as much Soldier loves Stanley. It is set in the 1917's midst the war between Germany and France, and it follows the story of the under-age boy Stanley who joins the army when things go awry with his father. The hear-wrenching tone of the book is really spread throughout the book.
The character development of Stanley has been done beautifully. It deals with a lot of emotions he deals with and how he understands himself as the story progresses. I really loved the part where the insecurities/grieving the loss of someone you love has been explained raw. It connects much better and i thoroughly enjoyed that.
What makes this book a 5-star read for me is the fact that even though the writing was simple, it made an emotional connection and the author had done an amazing job in conveying emotions through words. The loyalty of a dog, ugly truth of a war, essence of time were all covered well. I still had few issues with this book, but the book as a whole made complete sense and i really loved the progress with respect to character development and story-line. I definitely recommend you to read this book if you are looking for a heart-warming/heart-wrenching story of a teen boy who survives a great war with the help of his dog.
