Customer Reviews
Terribly dull ...
I bought this book after I saw the film "PS, I love you", and was expecting to enjoy this book, but what a disappointment. It is poorly written, extremely dull, nothing happens, repetitive and a true struggle to get through. I did finish it, I wish I hadn't wasted my time though.
Good read, but ...
I had heard a radio interview that the author had done regarding this book, so seeing as it was half price in woolies, i decided to get it! To be fair, i thought the begining was a bit rushed, and the ending a bit bodged up, if you know what i mean? Its quite a way into the book, before you know how she managed to have her accident, and the ending seems as if it was thrown together, maybe to meet a deadline?
However, i have to say the idea is intresting, my hubby thought it was freaky.
There were times when i was laughing out loud, but for the life of me, i coundnt get my hubby to see what was so funny - i have to point out he is someone who finds the simpsons highly entertaining tho.....
Joyce's dad is a complete gem, and the bit where she is on the telly live, i was nearly falling off my chair laughing.
Buy and enjoy, by all means.
One of the Best Books I've ever read....
I've read most of Aherns books and in my opinion this is her best yet. By Page 2 I was in Tears! I laughed out Loud on many occasions and cried again a number of times before the end! This is a book which brings out every emotion & more, a moving modern day Fairy Tale with Feel Good Factor & a Happy Ending - Everything you want & more from a book. I loved the "Dad" Character, so Funny and very realistic. I think everybody knows somebody like him (The Airport scene was hilarious). I'd love to see this made into a Film like P.S. I love you. Yet another Triumph from the Cecelia Ahern.
