Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must read
I was skeptical when I noticed the book was written in the style of letters. But, once I started to read, I just could not put it down. It was fantastic. I highly recommend it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Charming and entertaining

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful read!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are lively, interesting, humorous and heart wrenching. Its one of those books that makes you want to move to where it happened and hope these people really exist. Its one of my new all time favorites, my only regret is that I didn't discover it sooner.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Reading Again
It's been a while, I'm ashamed to say, since I read a book. This was the perfect one to start me reading again. It's so vivid. The characters are so well drawn, one can really see and feel who they are. And because it's told in letters, it's a very easy read.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good read
Wonderul book. The style is different and takes a little to get used to. Enjoyed it alot. Learned a few things about WWII also.
