The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society


One of the best novels I have read in the recent past. The story just flows and the format of the book is like letter writing. A person from Guernsey writes a letter to this writer requesting a book. The conversation continues and the writer gets an idea for her new book. Her friend at Guernsey gets others in the club to write to her too about their experiences during the war. The conversation is mostly about the German occupation of Guernsey and how they formed the literary club. There is a subtle love story, but that hardly gets much importance and is exactly the way it should be.

Do grab a copy at your nearest library and read this one!

Three Mistakes of My Life


Alright, biggest mistake of "MY" life is reading this book. Its like a horribly written Bollywood movie, that I wouldn't even watch if its free! Cliched story! Has been told a million times - cricket, religion and politics. Language is too simple and story is pathetic! Please pass up on this one!
