There are some books that I enjoy reading but come to love them at the end when I have the full picture to look at (like "Life of Pi" or "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie). This one I just loved reading. The characters were my friends and I had come to love them through their letters. The end was a little formulaic but I didn't really mind because I had loved the journey so much. I really liked this book, too, but I haven’t written my review yet.

I'm really curious to see what I think about it. I am about number 50 on hold at the library for this book. I’m really curious to see what I think about it.

It just didn’t work for me. Katherine - I hunted down your review and posted a link. I did love the characters; I just wish they were a little more developed. Toni - I hope you enjoy it. Come back and leave a link, so I can see what you thought. Sandy - I know! I loved Dawsey’s letters in the first half and missed them in the second. The love story was poorly developed. I found your review and added a link. Matt – I avoided reading your review yesterday because I hadn’t finished the book, but I totally agree about the romance. It just didn’t work for me.

We hardly knew him, and then he up and gets engaged to our Juliet! I did like this book, though. Four stars from me. Yes, I thought there was far too little from Dawsey in the second half.
