Customer Reviews

Light, easy read
I read this book in one day! Just couldn't put it down. Very easy to read and i totally got into it. Yes, it's far fetched but isn't that what a good book is all about?? Great read for the beach.

Very Disappointing
I hate to slander Sophie Kinsella's work because of how much I adore the Shopoholic series, Can You Keep A Secret?, and Undomestic Goddess. However, I am going to be quite honest and say that I was unpleasantly surprised by Remember Me. I bought the hardback on the day it came out (having loved all of Sophie's other books, I didn't hesitate). I then settled myself in Costa Coffee and spent the time it took me to drink a cup of tea reading the prologue and, erm, I think it was the first three chapters. I have to say, right from finishing the Prologue my excited expression deteriorated into a perplexed frown. Usually Sophie's books have made me laugh-out-loud at least one in the opening pages. I told myself it was just the prologue and not to be so hastily judgemental, but to be honest, it didn't get any better. I smirked/smiled amusedly at certain parts that were slightly funny, but never shook my head in disbelief with grin spread at anything, or laughed loudly and ended up drawing attention to myself. All of Sophie's books, particularly Can You Keep a Secret? have had that effect on me. Some of the witty language Sophie has used reduced me into fits of laughter. Not Remember Me.
I also didn't have any affection for Lexie's character, and I believe that actually caring about a book's protagonist makes all the difference to whether one will like it or not. I didn't really care what happened to Lexie, unlike Becky who (although her behaviour is infuriating at times) I always wish the best for. When I finished the novel, I placed it upon the shelf with my other Sophie books, but in a way I don't think it belongs there.

I asked myself if I was being overly critical because I was comparing it to Sophie's other books too much, and would actually like it if it was done by a completely seperate author. Sadly, no. It wasn't a good book by any standards, not just the high standards I'd set Sophie's writing ability at.

Loved it! Great holiday read!
I found this book on holiday in my hotel on a rainy day - a couple of days later I was finished! A funny, entertaining read with a great ending. There were times when I thought the memory loss of the character could have been used to create some more funny scences but overall an excellent read that made me smile!
