Nadine (23dollars) - reviewed on 11/18/2011 + 432 more book reviews

This was the bonus book this month in my online book club The Reading Cove. I'm sorry, but I wasn't that big a fan. Though it was an interesting view of the German occupation of Guernsey during the war, the epistolary style here made the story very dry and boring for me. It did pick up at the 150 page mark, when Juliet actually traveled to Guernsey and we learn what happened with Elizabeth, but then it quickly flatlined again through to the end. I was literally yawning.

I think I would've enjoyed this more had it been in a traditional style from the different characters points of view. I'm not sorry I read it, but can't go higher than a B-/C+.
