Ok...I just finished this book 2 days ago and I still wish that I haven't...or more correctly, I wish this book never ends cause each page of the book brings something...be it's laughter, sorrow, lessons in life, knowledge of English lit, excitement, and STORIES.
The book makes me feel like everything is going to be okay even in the worst situation you can imagine (in this case, during & after the German occupation) as long as you don't give up, keep your chin up & stay true to yourself and I believe it.
I love all the characters in the book and I'm in love with Dawsey since the first letter he sent to Juliet. I admire the author for making each character seems important without loosing focus on the main character (Juliet) and I never get the feeling that all the other characters are overcrowding the book or shadowing the main character, which usually does when there are many characters involved.
In short, I really really love this book and I highly recommend it to everyone. To end my review, I have to quote my fave excerpt from the book which I think represent what I'm feeling toward the characters too:
"...I have fallen in love with two men: Eben Ramsey & Dawsey Adams. Clovis Fossey and John Booker, I like. I want Amelia Maugery to adopt me; and me, I want to adopt Isola Pribby."
and I want to be Juliet and marry a gentleman like Dawsey :) ]]>
