Amazon.co.uk Review
Cecelia Ahern's debut novel, PS, I Love You, follows the engaging, witty and occasionally sappy reawakening of Holly, a young Irish widow who must put her life back together after she loses her husband Gerry to a brain tumour. Ahern, the twentysomething daughter of Ireland's Prime Minister, has discovered a clever and original twist to the Moving On After Death concept made famous by novelists and screenwriters alike--Gerry has left Holly a series of letters designed to help her face the year ahead and carry on with her life. As the novel takes readers through the seasons (and through Gerry's monthly directives), we watch as Holly finds a new job, takes a holiday to Spain with her girlfriends, and sorts through her beloved husband's belongings. Accompanying Holly throughout the healing process is a cast of friends and family members who add as much to the novel's success as Holly's own tale of survival. In fact, it is these supporting characters' mini-dramas that make PS, I Love You more than just another superficial tearjerker with the obligatory episode at a karaoke bar. Ahern shows real talent for capturing the essence of an interaction between friends and foes alike; even if Holly's circle of friends does resemble the gang from Bridget Jones a bit too neatly to ignore (her best friend is even called Sharon). While her style can be at times repetitive and her delivery is occasionally amateurish, Ahern deserves credit for a spirited first effort. If PS, I Love You is any indication of this author's talent, readers have much to look forward to as Ahern matures as a novelist and a storyteller. --Gisele Toueg, Amazon.com

 Brilliant November 7, 2008
I thought this book was amazing I cried the whole way through it touches your heart! 10 OUT OF 10
 Very poorly written October 25, 2008
When I bought this book, I had no idea who the authors father or brother-in-law etc were and I have no axe to grind but it is soo badly written that I simply cannot recommend it. A true example of a bad author ruining a great idea. Terrible.
PS I Love you October 20, 2008
This book is fab I loved it! You ll laugh out loud one minute and cry the next! Great book
Save yourself the trauma and read another book! October 2, 2008
After rave reviews all over the TV and from friends, I have been wanting to read this for a long time. I'm quite sentimental so I expected to be bawling all the way through and really drawn into Holly's plight. I love a good depressing story! Instead I'm only 100 pages in and I can't take any more! I can feel my brain cells being destroyed with every word! It reminds me of the kind of thing I read when I was 12. The same simple, predictive style. It certainly makes me question Richard & Judy's choices, but then maybe they were paid to like it.
I echo other reviewers' annoyance and confusion at the 'hilarious' jokes that leave the characters rolling around with laughter. I'm glad my friends and family are a lot wittier than this insipid lot! Such a shame as I really wanted to love this book.
Granted, I'm used to reading literary classics, but I love reading and so will plough through almost anything. AVOID unless you're 12, or have the reading age of a 12 year old!! Although I wouldn't recommend this to any children I know - I wouldn't patronise their intellect.
Pleasantly surprised September 24, 2008
I found this book in a charity shop for 0,50 Euro, and having heard of the film, I decided to try it. Why not for that price, right?
After a few pages, I couldn't put it down anymore. It's a reasonably mellow book, no major events, but defenitly a great read.
Not quite as predictable as I thought it would be, which is very refreshing.
It'll make you sad, happy, charmed and so much more.
I finished the book very quickly, and decided to try the film.
What a dissapointment. It is so different from this wonderful book, and doesn't do it any justice.. At all!
Just give it a try, I'm sure you'll love it!
