 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!
Pleasant to read September 15, 2008
I was determined to read this book before I saw the film as I know how films tend to destroy the book a bit.
I loved this book all the way through. At some parts I was feeling sorry for Holly at others I was feeling annoyed at how selfish she was becoming but it just goes to show how good a write Cecelia Ahern is if she can make you feel different emotions for one character.
I'm so glad Holly didn't get with Daniel at the end otherwise that would have bought the book down.
I recommend you read this before you see it
 Loved it! August 31, 2008
This book is great! Thumbs up to Cecilia Ahern, I will definitely read more of her books.
Brilliant from beginning to end August 29, 2008
This book was brilliant from beginning to end. It was very well written to the point you could imagine yourself being there overseeing it all. I read it through every spare minute of my waking day and found myself both laughing out loud and almost close to tears (mostly during my train journeys to and from work, much to the amusement of my fellow passengers).
It was recommended to me from a friend I hadn't seen in 13 years and I've since recommended it to everyone else I know, particularly those claiming to be none book readers.
