I absolutely loved this book. As a selection for our local book club, I had no idea what type of book I was getting into, other than the description "epistolary" from our club leader. That made me feel a little cautious to begin with, as I usually do not like that format, but was pleasantly surprised and hooked by about page 2!

The plot has been outlined here already - suffice it to say that by the time I reached the end of this wonderful, wonderful story, I didn't want it to end. I want to know what further adventures befall the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - I want to know what they read and how their future discussions go! I want to read more about each and every single one of the characters - there is not a one that isn't entertaining, although there are a few that are not well-liked! Those may have been among my favorites. :)

I encourage anyone and everyone to read this great book. It will have you laughing out loud, tearing up and learning so much, along with the pure enjoyment of the reading. A note to those who take my advice - Look out for Adalaide Addison (Miss)!
