5.0 out of 5 stars This book should have won the Carnegie Medal. Excellent!!!!, 17 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This is a superb book narrated by an old dog during the Peasant's Revolt of the14th century. Very original, very emotional at times, it actually had me in tears! I'm surprised that it didn't win the Carnegie Medal. I thoroughly recommend it to all Year 7, 8 and 9 students.

5.0 out of 5 stars =], 20 Sep 2008

This review is from: Fire, Bed and Bone (Paperback)
Me and my class read this in yr 7 and i really njoyed it, tho its quite hard to follow at times and can get abit boring. It also can get sad :(
But I loved the parts all about the dog's pup, Fleabane growing up, theyre the best bits. I reccomend it but it can be graphicly grusome 'bout the peasants revolt, but the dog bits are well good,x

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint-hearted - very gruesome, 7 Dec 2009
By thegoodbook (Sevenoaks, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fire, Bed and Bone (Paperback)
OK, maybe 2 is a trifle harsh, but after a few chapters I just couldn't take any more. Reading it to a primary age child was a mistake; shame, because the dog theme looked promising. Gruesome says it all - from the stillborn child being ripped from the mother in the first few pages to the prisoners dying in their own excrement. Why do these authors do it? If you want an excellent book about the Peasants' Revolt, try Crispin: the Cross of Lead. Only a couple of much less gruesome bits to avoid if necessary with a primary age child.
