Hello! After we came back from our winter holiday, we started a unit on WWI. We went into three diffrent group and read a book, 'When we were two', 'My brother's war' and 'War horse'. My group read 'My brother's war' by a author called David Hill.
This book involves two main character called William and Edmund. They have two totally diffrent opinion on war. William says it good to go to war and Edmund thinks it is not. William sets off to war but Edmund dosen't so everyone calls him a CO*.
This book is written in a unique way. Every start of a new part there would usually be a letter from one of them then chainging into third person. Then the letter from the other person is written and again, it changes to third person.
The most interesting part was when William went out of the trenches, into No man's land*. I really liked this place because it was the main part of the book and there was lots of action happening, like when his friend collapsed etc.
The ending was excellent. It ended with a letter and I felt really emotional and touching. I also might wanted a epilogue.
This book was quite diffrent with the other books because of how it was written, as I explained already.
This was an amazing book. It was well written and well explained. It felt as if I was there! Although you needed to remember the technical word from WWI, I recommended to people age 9 and above.
Hope you enjoy it!
