Customer Reviews

It took a while but I liked it
I have just this minute finished reading this book. First impresstions, strange! and where is it going? But I carried on reading it and it started to grow on me. I can see 'if you could see me now' was a stepping stone to this book, and it was an improvement as I didn't enjoy that book, more of a childrens book. This book is different to the traditional 'boy meets girl' chic lit she has wrote. This book is an improvement from her last one but not as great as 'P.S I love you' and 'Where the rainbow ends'.

Magical!
I've read all of Cecelia's books now, and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. 'A Place Called Here' is more akin to 'If You Could See Me Now' than the other two in that it's a more magical book, with (as the quote on the back cover testifies' 'more than a touch of fairytale.' Sure, it's hardly a great work of literature, but it's good fun and like her other novels is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. And like her other novels, it brought a hint of moisture to my cynical old eyes over the closing pages. Wonderful.

Exactly the same word for word to A place called here!
I understood that this was a new book coming out at the end of January 2008. I received it at the beginning of January 2008 in time for my daughter's birthday and then found that it was exactly the same as the book I had given her at Christmas - A Place Called Here. I was really disappointed. Can someone explain this to me!
