arran1904 's review for:
Private Peaceful
by Michael Morpurgo
"Private Peaceful" by Michael Morpurgo tells the story of Thomas "Tommo" Peaceful, a young soldier reflecting on his life as he awaits a fateful day on the front lines of World War I, primarily focusing on his close bond with his brother Charlie and the harsh realities of war, including the devastating effects on their rural upbringing and the injustice of soldiers being executed by their own army for desertion or cowardice; the narrative unfolds through Tommo's memories of his childhood, his family, and his love for Molly, a local girl, all set against the backdrop of the brutal trenches in France.

Themes I enjoyed:
1. Brother bond, was nice to relate to goriwng up as a triplet.
2. Devastating effects of war. Always a good reminder that nothing good is gained from war, a lesson I wish more people with power knew, especially with the Russia-Ukraine, Palestine-Israel wars going on in the world.
3. The unknown topic of unjust execution of own troops for cowardice or un co-operation.
4. The way to book was written and the sotry was told through memories and its like a clock ticking down but you don't know why until the end.
