does the book explain why the society is about/called “potato peel society?” i think that is the primary reason i’m interested in this book is because the words “potato peel” are in the title…

I was worried when I bought it because it was the Barnes and Noble recommends book. I don’t ususally buy those type of books. But I ended up loving it. My aunt said it took her awhile to get into the letter format too. I had no problems because I have read books in blog format, letters, etc. I hope they do make it into a movie.

I do have really high expectations for this now … which can be bad. But it’s def. on my list to read.

Ever read Ella Minnow Pea? This seems like it could be a bit similar (albeit not as “high concept”)

I keep hearing about this book. I may just have to go and pick me up a copy.

I’ve been hearing both good and bad things about this book, but from your review, I think I’d like it. I love the idea of it being “a love letter to written language”!

I know what you mean about the hype, I’ve been hearing about this one since August lol. I haven’t read it yet though.

I had to finally break down and order it yesterday. I try not to let the hype about anything effect me too much. I dislike being disappointed.

I just read this book for a month long club at B&N. I hadn’t heard of it when I signed on and started reading. I was interested because one of the authors was going to be with us for the whole club. I wasn’t sure if it would be my kind of book but I loved it! And the author Annie Barrows was terrific. She was very generous with her time and her responses to our questions. Her aunt was the other author but she became very ill in the final stages of the book so she asked her niece (an author of children’s lit) to do the editing and finish work. Unfortunately she passed away before the book came out but she did know it had been sold. I thought they made a great team.
