Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Entire Griffin & Sabine Collection is a gift!
Review: These books are themselves, works of art. Not for the obvious reason of a tale well told, but for the delivery of that story as well.By way of personal corresponence, the reader is immediately drawn into the story of Griffin and Sabine, and later, Matthew and Isabella. Each postcard, stamp and letter add a graphic element that ties to the story at one point or another. Reading other's mail is unmistakably fun, but one cannot help but feel protective of these two couples; are they crazy or is someone really trying to bring them harm?

My teenaged daughter introduced them to her fellow bookloving friends at sleepaway camp and they were passed around the cabin,9 girls in all, with nothing harmed or torn when they came back home with her! That's a miracle, but they knew they weren't just reading a book,too. I recommend the entire series whole-heartedly!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Griffin/Sabine fans will not be disappointed
Review: This book further explores the relationship between Matthew and Isabella, while Griffin and Sabine offer their support.

The love letters between Matthew and Isabella are reminiscient of the letters between Griffin and Sabine. Artwork is top notch.

Thought it was a bit weird that there are two postcards (between Sabine and Matthew) entirely in French - thank god for Babelfish!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cooling off period
Review: This book has the same visual flair as the previous books- it's the narative that seems slack. To be fair, these books are more about feeling and emotion than plot, but nothing seems to happen in this one- I didn't feel it had much focus. It might be time to wrap the plot up in a book or two.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Down fall
Review: This was a really great story told in a really cool way but with this last book it almost all gose down hill. What was mistrious is now sappy a qultia. This is the down fall of the a great story.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You've got snail mail.
Review: V. interesting concept with the postcards and letters you actually take out of the envelopes. Feels like you're reading someone else's mail. A beautiful book.
