**My third reading of this book, and I love Guernsey just as much as I did three years ago. And the audiobook is just perfect!

I enjoyed this story especially the format, but as the story went on it became a little too much to believe, every thing comes a little to easy for the some characters, and some characters are too good to really work for me. One major problem for me was leaving a young child with someone that was barely known by the child or the 'guardians', but really over all it was a nice story and easy to read.

This book gives me the same feeling as reading/watching "Anne of Green Gables" did when I was younger. Juliet is an absolute dear in this book, and the audiobook in particular is very well read. Highly, highly recommended! ...more
