Beautifully written, capturing the Yorkshire landscape perfectly. The ending, however, left me feeling incredibly sad. A powerful, but heavy read.

I enjoyed the book, although the dialect took some getting used to. Billy’s passion for his kestrel was the highlight. A bit depressing overall.

Not a happy story, but very well-written. The themes of poverty and neglect are handled sensitively. Prepare for sadness.

The prose is beautiful and raw, but the constant negativity was a bit overwhelming. Kes is a symbol of freedom, that is great.
