I read it around 2 years ago. Very, very good book. The ending is very sad and the whole book is very emotional.

I recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read it ;)

best book ive read. went to see peacefuls grave too in france and went to see the play.

Private Peaceful is a novel written by Michael Morpurgo, and a play by Simon Reade, based on the book. It is about a soldier called Tommo Peaceful, who is looking back on his life from the trenches of World War I. Structurally, each chapter of the book brings the reader closer to the present. The story especially underlines the senselessness of war and ineptitude of the commanding officers.

Is that the one with the two brothers who both grow up with this girl who they both fall in love with? I know that's not the main part of the story really but it's the only bit I remember. Oh and there's another brother who's a bit slow who sings Oranges and Lemons if I recall correct. Yeah good book, was sad at the time.
