I’m a history fanatic, but if a book’s about war, it generally needs to be pre-20th century for me. A War of the Roses story, and I am glued, telling myself it was long ago and far away, even somehow romanticizing it. A story about WWI or any war thereafter – well, I am simply uninterested in a remi...
I am so frustrated right now, and not with the book. I simply refuse to believe all those rave 5-star reviews. Amazing it is, not this novel, but that so many people thought it was good. I know tastes are different and I know this is not the first example of a weak work being a huge success, but isn...
This book was probably the best book I have read last month and will probably be one of the best books I have read this year. What is it about ? Horrors of Natzi occupation of Guernsey, yes (some of it quite graphic, but so very real), but also triumph of human spirit and some really wonderful peopl...
My sister gave me this book as a gift two or three Christmases ago. I put it on my shelf and forgot about it until a couple of months ago when she guilted me about not having read it. And really, she had a valid point. I'm usually the one who recommends books, and she always reads them, so when she ...

somewhere between 3 and 4...I wanted a bit more focus on the society itself, I found that lacking - but the interplay between the various characters was interesting
What a lovely and charming book. I loved that we are introduced to wonderful everyday people and see how the books impacted them in their lives. I love that the books is a series of letters written amongst the characters. It reminds me of the days when we used to actually write to each other and ...
In general, I liked The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Juliet and Dawsey were likable characters and the story was well written. I actually wanted to find out the ending...which hasn't been the case with some of the books I've read or listened to lately. At times I wanted to tell a...
I read several other reviews and recurring through many of them were the words "wonderful", "charming", and "delightful". I have to say that I agree with that assessment! Loved it!
