Book club session 2 - March 22nd
-
Don't be afraid, everyone is lovely. I asked the chaps at the bar where everyone was last time. Wish I was going.
-
Sorry to have missed tonight - would be interested to know what everyone made of the book though, having now read it twice! Anyone fancy summarising?

Hi Liz,
Was wondering what you thought second time round! I liked it just as much.
So I think there were 12 of us there - 3 new from last time - and just to set the scene, we were in the restaurant part again as there was yet another book group in the front again!
In summary, I'd say everyone enjoyed the book but, as expected, some more than others. We all liked the way it was written in letters, although it took most of us a little while to get used to them. We talked quite a bit about Guernsey and what it must have been like during the war and whether we thought the book was realistic. Some people commented on the characters being very black and white, good and bad etc. Even though it was quite a simple, easy read, there were still a few twists that surprised us and it wasn't as predictable as the style could have led it to be.
Anyway, Hannah is going to post details of the next book and the meeting is April 26th. -
Well, it was my first time at the bookclub and once I'd found you all I had a great time. Looking forward to the April meet up.

New to the site and I really wanted to come along last night but haven't been to well. From the summary it sounds like my own views were pretty weel represented. really enjoyed it and looking forward to the next choice and hopefully I will make it this time:-)

@ Salsa - thanks for the update. It bore a second reading remarkably well, I thought, but then I did enjoy it a lot the first time. Looking forward to getting details of the next session.
Howdy, Stranger!
