Helpful Score: 1

What a thoroughly enjoyable book! A book constructed almost entirely of letters and telegrams, its fun structure made it a very quick read. I think that the last epistolary book I read was in junior high and I had forgotten just how charming this format can be. I liked all the characters, and while the plot was predictable, it was filled with a lot of life and spirit of the characters which kept me turning the pages. I had never heard anything about the Occupation of the Channel Islands (to be perfectly honest, I did not even know that there were islands in the Channel at all). It was a very straightforward and enjoyable book and I am glad that it lived up to its good reputation!
