Your review definitely gave me the info I was looking for.<br /><br />Alayne<br />thecrowdedleaf.wordpress.comAlaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305704919065945772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402592.post-12566723572819448352009-01-25T19:31:00.000-06:002009-01-25T19:31:00.000-06:00The 'Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society' i...The 'Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society' is a fine book, in epistolary form. Without detracting from its merits, the difference in quality was so pronounced that it led me to speculate about the authorship. My own review, which might interest you, is noted below.<BR/><BR/>http://grealistink.typepad.com/wordplay_language_politic/2009/01/the-guernsey-literary-and-potato-peel-pie-society-a-book-review.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402592.post-62982864116483161592008-09-23T01:11:00.000-05:002008-09-23T01:11:00.000-05:00I enjoyed reading your review.

I loved it, probably my age and having English relatives who talked about the war when I was a child. I reviewed it too:<BR/>http://freshinkbooks.blogspot.com/2008/08/guernsey-literary-and-potato-peel-pie.htmlSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402592.post-67959015003390933302008-07-20T14:33:00.000-05:002008-07-20T14:33:00.000-05:00I almost didn't pick it up when the ARC arrived in...I almost didn't pick it up when the ARC arrived in our store, precisely because the title makes it sound really light and fluffy, but I ended up loving it (my review is in <A HREF="http://readerville.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow"> Readerville </A> )and am so glad you did too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402592.post-76967506162304222222008-07-20T11:34:00.000-05:002008-07-20T11:34:00.000-05:00This sounds like something I would like -- once I ...This sounds like something I would like -- once I get over "The Spiderwick Chronicles". It comes out about the same time "The Lace Reader" does so I am putting it on my list as well. Both of them sound like lovely autumn reads -- my favorite time read.Boyett-Brinkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066753762645278933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402592.post-25327659926084820162008-07-19T17:04:00.000-05:002008-07-19T17:04:00.000-05:00literatehousewife and kathleen--Yeah, I waited unt...literatehousewife and kathleen--<BR/>Yeah, I waited until the last minute to decide to request it myself. So I was really pleasantly surprised. Guess this should teach me not to judge a book by its title.

Someone else reviewed this book and really loved it, too. Sometimes a novel written in the form of letters or uses a lot of letters can really suffer. I'll be interested to see how this one plays out for myself. I'll have to add that to my TBR list at some point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
