 Dreams Deferred October 12, 2008
In this excellent, epistolary novel, Alex and Rosie are kept apart by circumstances both within and without their control. The only reason I'm giving this book four stars rather than five is that one of the "reasons" keeping them apart was clearly a plot contrivance meant to add another 100 pages to the book, when it was an easily solvable "problem" in real life.
My favorite character in the whole story was the solid, reliable, no-nonsense Ruby, who calls it as she sees it and is correct from the get-go in that Alex and Rosie are mad for each other and just have to face that for themselves.
A friend of mine said a couple years ago that "love leads us down strange pathways." This immensely entertaining novel is an apt demonstration of that belief.

After reading ps, i love you I was looking for another book by the same author hoping for it to be just as good, and I was pleasently surprised. I was astonished at how a book could be written - and easy to understand, completely as a series of e-mails and letters. At first I found it quite confusing however as I got further through the book I began to find it easier and really enjoyed it. It was an easy read and i would recommend it to anyone!
 Frustrating! August 14, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
When I started this book, I skimmed through the first chapter because I found the letter writing format so annoying and wanted to get to the main story, but unfortunately the format continued right up to the last but one chapter and what could have been a good story was just superficial and frustrating, and the characters one-dimensional. Plus it's a bit far fetched because the book spans fifty years, which would mean that, unless the book is also partly set in the future, they were emailing and IMing in the sixties/seventies/eighties - I don't think so!
Given the pedantic way much of the book was written, the last part was rushed and anticlimactic in comparison; we were supposed to be rooting for Alex and Rosie to finally get together, but when this eventually happened it barely got a paragraph.
Also, minor niggle, the consistent mis-spelling by Alex (and later Katie) of "no" instead of "know" was unbelievable and really irritating - the man's a heart surgeon, so one would expect him to have a modicum of intelligence!
Read this over 2 nights, couldn't put it down. July 31, 2008
After enjoying PS I Love You I couldn't wait to see what Cecilia Ahern had in store, so I purchased Where Rainbows End. I was not disappointed, from page one I was hooked. This book is written in a series of letters/emails of which I laughed and cried whilst reading. I would definitely recommend this book.
Such a lovely book, I couldn't put it down. July 31, 2008
I have read all of Cecelia Aherns books and this one is truly wonderful. It is on level with P.S I Love You.i could not put this book down and had it finished in 2 nights. Great Great Great!
