I just finished 'The Gift' last night so I'll write up what I think on my reading list. Bear with me though .. it won't be a full blown review! I don't do reviews very well :)

I read PS I love you ages ago and loved it! I then read Where rainbows end and enjoyed that too. I'm about to start reading A Place Called Here and am hoping it will live up to her other books!:lol:

I still can't get into A Place Called Here. I don't know why but I don't think that book wants me to read. I'm going to keep trying and get into a few chapters rather than giving up all together.

I've just finished reading PS, I Love You and for me it was like eating maltesers, as in I find them very morish and have to finish the lot off as quickly as possible, but then feel regret afterwards and wonder I why I did that! I did find it readable, but I'll not be in a rush to read another of hers.

I have read PS I love you and Where rainbows end up to now, too. I totally appreciated reading them and I'd like to read more of her books. :welcomebcf: They are just too lovely.

I've only read If You Could See Me Now and PS I love you. I was gonna read The Gift but my sister said she didn't like it, so I didn't try. I thought If You Could See Me Now was a great story, it was very unique and.. magical. I dunno. I liked it better than PS I love you.

I've read P.s I Love You, If You Could See Me Now, Where Rainbows End and A Place Called Here and the only one I even remotley enjoyed was Where Rainbow End..The rest were so bad..I really don't rate Ceciela Ahern

Dear Cecelia Ahern,

 

After reading your latest offering, the book of tomorrow, could I please urge you to put down your pen and pack up your laptop!

 

I was a big fan until The Gift and I did reluctantly add your latest offering to my christmas list. I feel that you have some good ideas but feel it is a waste of my sister's hard earned cash when she considers buying me another one of your books for christmas!

 

Big praise for P.S. I love you though!

 

P.S. Quit while you are ahead!

Those are harsh words!

She's far from the best author out there, and her writing is very simple most of the time but they are charming and filled with emotions that makes you both laugh out loud and cry. All the subjects she takes on are such that I find myself thinking about long after I've finished the books. A place where all lost things ends up, imaginary friends...

I guess I would say she writes fairy-tales for grown-up kids (:

Well, I read PS. I love you a couple of years ago and i quite liked it. I read it in italian, obviously. But last week I bought the original version and it was really different. Not the plot, but the style, the words used.. It's far much better in English! Ahern writes in a very simple way, she doesn't want to teach or something, she just wants to entertain .. and make people sob! Nothing wrong with it, in my opinion!

Cecelia is one of my favourite authors, I have all of her books but my favourites are "A Place Called Here" and "If You Could See Me Now" :)

 

Did anyone read her latest book "One Hundred Names"?

I've only read 'The Book of Tomorrow', and I enjoyed that :) I don't think I shall read PS I Love You though, because I watched the film...and was rather bored. :P

I do like Cecelia Ahern for a nice light hearted read. I did love PS I love you, but absolutely loathed the film. My favourite to far has been The Gift. Daft but a good read.

I thought The Gift was pretty good, quite a surprising read. I own two other books by her and one more is on the wishlist, I think.

I've read and Loved ' PS I love you'. The movie I think is great btw.

I've read 'A Place Called Here' and liked it. I loved the idea of hers about where all of our lost things go. Strange book, but good.

I like her style up to now.

I have five of Ahern's novels on my book shelf. Three which I have read. Two I loved PS I Love You and How To Fall In Love and one I disliked If You Could See Me Now. I do really like her and look forward to reading some of her other books
