 Bilge September 17, 2008
I can't believe anyone's given this more than 1 star! Boring, poorly-developed, full of plot holes....completely pointless!! The whole "ooh no, I hate it when things go missing!!" aspect of Sandy's character was ridiculously over-egged. Everything was done so clunkily and obviously. No subtlety in the writing at all. The idea of a place where missing things/people go is fairly interesting, and might have made a mildly diverting short story. But to stretch it out into a novel is ridiculous! The characters were so overplayed it became really tiresome. This is the first Cecelia Ahern book I've read and it really hasn't inspired me to read any further. Bilge.
 Fantastic story! September 11, 2008
I can't believe some of the reviewers only giving this story 2 stars! I thought it was brilliant. This is such a different and unique story - I couldn't put it down. It is great to read a book that doesn't bore me with the same old topics. I recommend this book to those who love a good fairytale twist.
Imaginative and beautiful August 17, 2008
If you have no imagination, don't bother with this book. You probably won't like it. Personally, I loved it. The heroine comes across the place where lost things and people go; it's a wonderfully developed idea and I fell in love with Ahern's books as a result of this novel. She writes with succint and moving prose, her characters are well defined and fascinating. It's like a child's fairy tale for grown ups.
Confusing August 9, 2008
Enjoyed the book, but took ages to get into it and at some points I found myself confused as to what was happening!! Only really got into the book when I had figured out what was happening and nearer the end.
Thought Provoking August 6, 2008
This was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I can't believe the amount of people who didn't like it. It really keeps you guessing till the end and for anyone who has ever lost a loved one it begs the question "is there really life after death"?? Sometimes you really do have to think 'outside of the box'! Brilliant.
