Please let me know if you have any other questions on other posts! I actually led a book group myself for a while and have some recommendations!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572049077903171939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980093669604155928.post-21443831074619230552012-02-01T16:10:34.107-05:002012-02-01T16:10:34.107-05:00Col,

I think it could have been far heavier if she'd explored the turmoil of Elise's character. I'll be looking to see if you check it out!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572049077903171939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980093669604155928.post-89747200563775304092012-02-01T15:01:35.185-05:002012-02-01T15:01:35.185-05:00I just happened upon your blog while searching for...I just happened upon your blog while searching for reviews of this book - I'm in charge of choosing a book for a group to read in March, and everyone in it adores Downton Abbey... so we just might have to give this a try. Thanks for the review.<br /><br />p.s. Lots of your recent reviews are on my "to read" list, so I look forward to digging through your archives to get even more ideas!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889053991942318298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980093669604155928.post-25087316927453375092012-02-01T07:41:54.170-05:002012-02-01T07:41:54.170-05:00Soaptastic?

Still, I have to agree that not dealing head-on with Elise's feelings as the war progressed might seem a bit weird.

I enjoyed it but found the first season offered much more substance. This book is definitely very similar despite occurring during WWII and not WWI.

While Justin and I really enjoyed most of the first season, as it was less inclined to relying on crazy drama to progress, we found that the second season wasn't as great. I won't say anything here for fear of spoiling it for all those who haven't seen it, but we found it got way too soapy. We really enjoyed the aspects of the "downstairs" cast though. You'll have to let me know. And don't hate me if you don't enjoy it.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572049077903171939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980093669604155928.post-46598889617291612032012-01-25T11:32:10.315-05:002012-01-25T11:32:10.315-05:00I want to read this for the same reason you did --...I want to read this for the same reason you did -- DOWNTON LOOOOVE.

He didn't seem super interested, but I know if I get my hands on season 1 he would do it :)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780185535345559390noreply@blogger.com
