"Delightful read! Fantastic, quirky but believable and complex characters. Oddly cheery for a pretty somber topic - Guernsey's occupation in WWII. I loved the story and the characters, particularly Juliet and Sidney. I've never read of Guernsey and this book left me enchanted and intrigued. I did not love the collection of letters storytelling technique - I think that is largely because I tend to read books in 30 minute increments so every time I picked this up I had to page back and remind myself who was writing to whom and when. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had a few straight hours to devote to it. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could but I'm rounding up because of that. I loved and hated the ending - loved the outcome but hated the abruptness - tell us more!"

    " Enjoyed this book exploring the first hand experiences and loss of the survivors of WWII. The book was completed (reworked and editted) by the author's niece after the author's death and unfortunately the story suffers a little. Makes me wonder where the original author would have taken the interesting and eclectic characters of Guernsey. "

    " WOW!! This book is abolutely amazing.The story had great characters and each had a great story to tell. Some stories were sad, some happy and that made it altogether a great read. "

    " A lovely book and an insight into something I knew nothing about, the occupation of Guernsey during the Second World War. I enjoyed it and, as probably predicted, the romance that blooms as you read the story. I found it odd that such a book was written by an American author, but it only shows now and then and why I found it odd I am not quite sure. "

    " Really enjoyed this. I liked how the story was told through letters written back and forth. THe subject matter and time in history was new to me, so this made it even more interested. "

    " This was an audio version and good, letters being read by different characters and very well done. I still prefer holding the book etc. I saw a DVD of "Island at War" that had a lot of these stories on it, yet was completely different. The history was all the same though and very good. "
