I listened to it on audio as well, and was one of the few I have heard that have narrators for each character...brilliant! It was such a wonderful combination of love, friendship and hardship, I just wanted to crawl inside the story and join the cast. Great review! <abbr><em>Sandy’s last blog post..<a href="http://sandynawrot.blogspot.com/2009/02/monday-movie-meme-whose-line-is-it.html" rel="nofollow">Monday Movie Meme - Whose Line Is It Anyway?</a></abbr></em> I absolutely loved this book…probably will end up one of my favorites for this year.

I read the book before the audio but the audio breathed a refreshing finish to it. As to writing letters, I cherish the times when I would pen the letters home after I came to the US. Although "snail mail" took at least a week, the slowness escalated that sense of expectation. The only thing that comes close now would be e-mails. I maintain e-mails (no short-hands, all complete sentences, paragraphs) with a few of my closest friends. <abbr><em>Matt’s last blog post..<a href="http://mattviews.wordpress.com/2009/02/07/d-for-dog/" rel="nofollow">D for Dog?</a></abbr></em> I’m glad you’ve enjoyed listening to Guernsey, which has kept me company in morning commute for about a week.
