Pretty predictableNovember 15, 2008 J. Mckelvin(Birmingham AL) Not bad, but nothing really memorable either. Very predictable plot points -- most seen coming from a mile away. Interesting more for the factual information learned about the history of the occupation of Guernsey in WWII.
Entertaining ReadNovember 13, 2008 M. Benfield The title of this book caught my attention and the content caught my imagination. It is a well written story that is easily read in short bursts or in one or two long sittings.
A very good bookNovember 12, 2008 Chris(Chattanooga) It's been a while since I have read a book that made me smile, laugh, and not want to put down. The characters are so vivid I found myself thinking of comments in reply to the dialogue. The format of letters written back and forth made me long for pre-internet days. I highly recommend this book.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie SocietyNovember 12, 2008 Margaret M. Odonnell I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It took me a little while to get used to the format. The entire story is told in the form of letters written by a dozen people post WWII.
A Lovely Book Told Through LettersNovember 11, 2008 TJ These gals know how to paint a picture with their words. My next travel destination after reading this will be London and Guernsey Island. The authors authentically capture the time and place...right after the war in the 40's. A unique writing style and approach as the story, relationships and characters develop through a series of letters.Relatively short letters seem to take the reader quickly through this lovely book. Very entertaining and well done. Highly recommended. The green ribbon sewn in as a book mark is a darling aside.
