2018: Reread this since I hardly remembered the book at all. I listened to most of it on audio, and it was charming and enjoyable, though I think it's better on paper -- I'm less distracted.

2009: This feels like the first book I’ve actually finished in, well, ages. I think that says something right there, don’t you? It’s readable, it’s engaging, it’s light without being fluffy. And it probably helps that this type of book is right up my alley. Here are some of the reasons I loved this book:

A friend said I wouldn't like it but I thought it was very cute. History learned and lives shared.

I loved this! I found it witty, humorous, and touching.
It took me a while to get into this book, but I am SO glad I stuck with it. I cried, I laughed, and I will remember this story. The story of the people of Guernsey during WWII and how they started a literary society to cover an unlawful event (an act deemed a criminal offense by the Nazi soldiers). A story that reinforces that people are good, and that together we can survive the worst of times. Also, to stand up for what I believe, even if it means losing everything. I highly recommend this boo

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Letters, World War 2, England, small town, romance--this book had it all! I was so very sad when it ended--I could have used another couple hundred pages. I feel like I only brushed the surface of the lives of these people. I need more books like this.
I loved everything about this book! The characters, the letters that told the story, and the fact that I would laugh one moment and cry the next.
Why, why, why did it take me so long to read this delightful book??? I absolutely loved it!
Loved this lighthearted book. I loved the all the unique characters!
I really liked this book. It was light and heart-warming and like a lot of books based on this time-period, it made me grateful for my life and the lack of tragedy in it. The only thing I didn't like was that the relationship that comes to be at the end wasn't developed as much as I would have liked. It kind of just got thrown in there.

Okay, people told me I would really like this book. I just didn't know how much I would like it! It is delightful, funny, informative, interesting, and lovely.

It took me a bit to get in to this book. I was soon hooked however, and loved the book. I really liked learning the history from a personal perspective.
I wasn't sure how I would like a book written in letter form. It did take a minute longer than other books for me to get sucked in, but I did, and I loved it.

I really enjoyed this book. Once I got used to the letter format I was hooked and could not put it down.
Charming novel with fascinating historical information. Loved it!
