Book Review: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

August 20, 2009 by Cheyenne 3 Comments

I’m such a dork.

Here I am challenging all of you to read books and then POST YOUR REVIEWS. I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society a week ago and totally forgot to write a review. Sheesh…

I’ll chalk it up to PMS (or, as I like to call it, Period Head, because let’s face it, you just don’t think normally when the hormones are rampaging through your body).

Moving on…

This book is actually written as a series of letters. I didn’t know this going into it and it kind of threw me at first. I wasn’t so sure how much I’d like it. But after about the first 20 pages or so, I was hooked! The characters are so charming and really funny and I loved reading about a little known history of the German occupation of small British islands during WWII. If I ever have a chance to visit Guernsey, I will certainly do so after reading this book! I just wish all the characters were real so I could visit them, especially the main character, Juliet Ashton. She and I would get along very nicely, I think.

I gave this book 5 stars on Goodreads.com. I highly recommend it.

    I don’t know i would feel about reading a book that was written in a series of letters as I have yet to read one written in that format.

    Although did pick up a version of Dracula and was surprised to see it written in almost the same form! Might have to check this book out in my free time 🙂

    I LOVED this book. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. As in, went into a deep state of depression when it ended. I think I may read it again sometime soon. But I’ll need to make more headway in my Challenge list first.
