What a wonderful book! Having just finished this one, I am still smiling and thinking of the characters. As it is, I feel as though I've already visited Guernsey and been made to feel at home. Set in both London and Guernsey Island, this novel follows author Juliet as she becomes friends with the inhabitants of the island shortly after the end of World War 2. Told in epistolary style, Juliet learns of the occupied island and its deprivations, as well as the resounding spirit of the people who live there. As she writes, she becomes more and more intrigued with the stories of the people who survived the hard times, and she decides to create a book based on their experiences. In order to gather more information, Juliet moves temporarily to the island and soon finds herself immsersed in the culture and relationships. This is absolutely one of the most delightful books I've read all year. The characters are real, the relationships are unique, and Juliet is hysterically funny, as well as warm hearted and genuine. I did have a bit of trouble keeping all the characters straight in the beginning, but once I caught on, I was enthralled. The pages just fly by and while you will learn a little of what happened to Guernsey during World War 2, you will learn much more about love and friendship.

After reading "The Graveyard Book," I wanted to read more by Neil Gaiman, and this book was billed as super-creepy children's lit. While I did like it, I also felt disappointed after finishing it. I guess I really was expecting to get creeped out, and I just wasn't. However, I like reading books that are so different, and I did enjoy this book.

You know, I can always do without the epilogues that show us the future in which main characters are paired up and raising children. I'm looking at you, Mockingjay. And you, Harry Potter. Three and 1/2 stars. I didn't love this as much as I'd hoped.

I love the idea that Merlin was a time-traveler, but its implications are not explored much here.

I was struck by how much not understanding your options for a future, or even believing you have any, can change your choices, and your life. I also agree with the fact that so much help is given to those in this country who already are of privilege and it would mean so much more going elsewhere. But how do you change that and get the help where it should go when society has become so competitive that those of privilege believe they need it as well?

What this man endured at the hands of the Ashcroft "Patriot Act" fascists is shocking. The tactics used against him should be a wake up call to all americans, Especially those who think eroding the constitution is acceptable for the illusion of "safety". (I would also say rent "V for Vendetta" to these poor dissilusioned folk).And yet, it isn't a diatribe, but a story of triumph over oppressors, and a funny, well written memoir from a counter-cultural icon. Reading the book and even writing this, makes me angrier than he ever was, and that says alot for his inner strength. I find that very inspirational. READ THIS BOOK!
This is the eighth novel in Griffin’s Badge of Honor series and the third that I have read. As usual with Griffin, you do not have had to read the preceding novels, as he more or less tells you everything that has happened so far, and all you lose is the fun of reading all the details. Still, this is the sequel to The Investigators, and I would recommend reading that one before this, if only to get the continuity. This one again features Matt Payne, here promoted to Sergeant in the Homicide Division, but includes all the other characters that rum through the series and also introduces a few new ones, with a hint that we will see them again in the sequel to this book—the very luscious Officer Olivia Lassiter and the equally attractive Terry Davis, who is a promotional agent for Stan Colt, a somewhat egotistical movie star. As usual, too, this novel includes all of the things that I find wrong with Griffin--his penchant for using full names preceded by long official titles, simulated reproductions of published text, etc.--but, as I have said before, all that pales in view of the fact that he tells a good story. I could not put the book down, even though there were many other things I wanted to do and had to do. The book starts off by introducing us to a truly nasty pervert who enjoys terrorizing women all over the country as a hobby, along with two murderous young blacks who engage in wanton killing as part of their stickup routine, together with a postcard from a murderer who jumped bail and fled the country years ago. Isn’t this a great way for Matt to start his first day as a Sergeant? What he gets stuck with, however, is the task of babysitting a visiting movie star who has come for a visit to raise money for the Catholic high school but has a penchant for very young girls; Matt’s job is to prevent fans from tearing the clothes off the movie star, while simultaneously making sure the movie star does not take the clothes off any young ladies. I have heard servicemen who were in the Pacific in World War II who protest that the war was nothing like what Griffin described; I suspect most members of the Philadelphia Police department would assure us that current-day police work is nothing like this, either--but it’s a hell of a good story.
