Better then "P.S I Love You" but not as good as "If you could see me now"! June 19, 2008
The 4th Cecilia Ahern book I have read, "Thanks for the memories" is not one of my favourite but I did enjoy it. I think the Father was a really likeable, funny and warm charachter but I felt some of the other charachters didn't stand at as well as they could have. The theme was an unusual one but it seemed a bit more predictable then some of the other books in its plot. I suppose it wasn't quite so "fairytaleish" as "If you could see me now" and "A place called here" which I have come to like about Cecilia's books. Still an enjoyable story which touches upon the important subject of blood donation. That can only be a good thing.

Am i the only person who thinks 'How does Cecelia Ahern get away with writing such poor and fluffy prose?'.
I've said it before, her ideas are fantastic but her writing is childish and immature. I would love to see what she presents to her editor and what her editor edits because what ends up on the book shelves is amateur barely readable chicklit.
I don't think her writing has improved with age, 'Thanks for the memories' is not that much better than 'PS I love you'.
The father in this novel is annoying. I find it hard to get past the first chapter of her books but i managed to get through 'Thanks for memories' and i'm left thinking 'no thanks for the memories'.
Ceceila is good at generating heart felt themes but her writing is so weak and thin and childish she fails on every level to make you believe or see her characters come to life.
Amusing June 9, 2008
Having read and enjoyed all of Cecelia Ahern's previous books I thought I'd give this one a go. As many other reviews mention the plot I won't repeat that. I would say that like her other books it is a light read with a good dose of humour and (I thought) a predictable but satisfying ending. Not for those who like a meaty story, gripping plot or great sophistication in their books but fine for an easy and enjoyable holiday read. It probably wouldn't appeal to most men and I would rate it similarly to her other books.
Better than her last June 9, 2008
I am an avid reader of cecelia ahern- although P.S I love you wasn't my favourite, once I read Where rainbows end I was hooked...
I'm not too sure bout this book. It didn't leave me with that great feeling you should get when reading a book although I was pleased it was a lot better than "if you could see me now"
Weak storyline and writing June 8, 2008
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I didn't enjoy Cecilia Aherne's last book so hoped this one would be better and was sorely disappointed. The plot was very thin and unoriginal and being pregnant myself I could not understand how the main character could move on so quickly. It all just seemed too easy and formulaic. I won't be buying any more of CA's books - bland and boring.
