Light, quick read. Broken down by theme, everyone's voice is heard. Much of the Dowager, which is as it should be.

All of the writing was done by Julian Fellowes. Wonderful. (Though I dropped out of watching after they killed Matthew and I heard they were going to rape Anna. Nope - don't need that.)

Exactly what it sounds like: the best of the best lines of Downton Abbey. A quick enjoyable little read. I wish there had been just a little intro to each chapter, but that's mostly because I loved the foreward so much.

Amusing. Fun way to keep the memory alive.

If I had one request...I would have appreciated more "wisdom" in terms of providing the history/ literature/ mythology references to some of the quips made. I caught a number of them (thank you to my educators in high school and undergrad), but would like to learn more about the ones I missed.

Light and wonderful sampler dessert of the many hilarious, poignant and cheeky quotes said by various characters in our very beloved Downton Abbey.

Arranged non-formally, it is a good quick read when you are missing the show.

A charming little gift book of quotes from the show. Easy to read in one sitting. Makes me miss the characters.

I liked this... but of course Lady Grantham had the best lines.
