Book Review #5 - The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society

My Highest rating: Four butts on the couch.

I haven't reviewed a book in a long time because I've read a bunch of crap not even worthy of the blogosphere...until now. The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society is fabulous. I first heard about it in an airport when a fellow passenger had it on her kindle and I was asking a bunch of questions about the kindle and she was trying to tell me how good the book was, and I was yeah, yeah, yeah, about the kindle. I should have read it six months ago. My enlightenment could have been so much sooner!

In a nutshell, it's a series of letters between an author, her publisher, and a book club that formed during the German occupation on the channel islands of Guernsey. It's funny, it's romantic, it's historical, it's an easy read, etc. You know a book is good when your torn between wanting to hurry up and finish because you want to see how things turned out AND wanting to slow down so it won't end. Just waiting for the movie now, dare I say. This one would make a good one and I've already pegged Hugh Grant and Colin Firth for their respective parts.
