Potatoe Pie

I thought this book was very interesting and well written. I did not like the format though. I get bored with the letter format. I feel (not just with this book) that the letters leave too much out. I want dialogue and action. This author did do a great job in describing the characters personalities though. Quite an odd assortment. I enjoyed the little bit of information that was given about the Guersney Island.
I thought that Juliet was a little uppity about some things and wondered how she captured the hearts of the book club so quickly.

4 points

Hi all, I read this book earlier in the summer and loved it. I learn things about the war that I didn't know, and I love to learn new things. While the book had a lot of sadness, the kindness of the people of Guernsey gave the story a sense of hope. I didn't like the girl who went down to write the story, at first, but got to like her better as the book progressed.
