"This book affirms my desire to be Helene Hanff when I grow up. This is a brilliantly written travel memoir of her trip to England. Unlike most travel memoirs where the author tells you why his or her point of view of the destination is far superior to most tourists, she unabashedly tells her story of her time in England and the people she came to love without a care in the world to what anyone else might think. Many people take their trip to England, but this trip was hers and written in the humorous style she was known for. The minute I finished it, I wanted to start it all over again for the first time. I looked her up and was so sad to discover she died in 1997. It felt like losing a friend."
"I think timing had a lot to do with my lukewarm feelings about this book. If I had read this immediately after 84, Charing Cross Road, I might have liked it a little more. As it was, it was the fourth Hanff book I had read in a row, and I was a bit tired of her voice. This book did, though, have many touching moments. It was fun to see Helene's awe of her fame. It was amazing to see people's hospitality and her interaction with her fans. Also, this book made me realize that I am far too uneducated to fully appreciate a trip to England. :) In all, this is a nice book about nice things that happen to a nice person. But I wasn't awed.
