Jefrrey Dekl _0056f08 — About 20 pages into the book, I was already tired of the format. (the book is done entirely by letters to and from various characters.) Due to the format of the book, the letters include many many details that would not normally be contained in a letter in the post war 1940's. I found the characters to be flat and undeveloped with the exception of Juliet, who really is not believable as a woman of the 1940's. For the most part, the many characters in Guernsey are indistinguishable except for a few very simplistic traits. The letters are absurdly unrealistic for the time period. (page 23-Yes dinner with pleasure. I'll wear my new dress and eat like a pig.) As if women spoke, let alone wrote like that in the 1940's. The time period is really unachored to reality. It's as if intermittently there are details re: the war thrown in, but I never really believed this was a post war setting because of the inauthetic dialog for the time period. I found the book to be fairly shallow, with few details about the war that-I'm giving the author the benefit of the doubt here-I assume to be true, which were interesting but they are few and far between and interspersed with far more drivel. Truthfully, I found no attractive interesting characters--they are flat and undiscernable from each other- and just wanted to finish the book for my book club and move on. You actually get the impression that the characters on Guernsey are rather naive and dumb, (think the woman who gets a book on Miss Marple and decides to test out her detective skills, or the book and character that start reading people's bumps-same character, whose name fails me now.) Additionally, most of the characters add little to the storyline (though I'm not sure one exists.)and it's not clear what role they were meant to play. Truly, this reads like a badly written harlequin. I am entirely unclear why it is set in the post WWII time period as it is really more about these ridiculous characters (and there are plenty of them). for me, there was no plot-the story just meanders. I hate to use this word, but I found it to be rather silly.
