5.0 out of 5 stars I left my heart at 84 Charing Cross Road, May 12, 2004

A MUST READ FOR YOUNG WRITERS. Reading this book is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. As a writer and an avid reader, Helene Hanff's quick wit and dry sense of humor was not only a lesson on how to keep your reader interested; it is a real writer's block ice-breaker for me!

The correspondence between Helene Hanff and the staff at the 84 Charing Cross Road book store are short and to the point letters about particular books, but the relationship that develops between characters is heartfelt and you can very easily put yourself in her shoes. I found myself spellbound. I read it in one afternoon.

Treat yourself to a wonderful easy read. A good book to follow up with after this is "Apple of My Eye" also by Helene Hanff. Even if you have never been to New York City before she will take you there.

I give both books 5 stars and can't wait to read the rest of her books!
