3.0 out of 5 stars Not great, but not terrible either., June 8, 2009

This review is from: Thanks for the Memories: A Novel (Hardcover)

I felt the book was ok. It's definitely not one that I would jump to read again any time soon. There was very little character development or really any personalities portrayed by the title characters. I found that my favorite character was Joyce's senile father, as he was the only one that was given an interesting personality. The book kind of read as a short story that just happened to be of novel length, if that makes any sense.

That being said, the book was still a page turner and as far as chic-lit goes it does go with the happy ending. I still kind of liked it, just didn't LOVE it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aherns wit is captivating!, April 23, 2009

This review is from: Thanks for the Memories: A Novel (Hardcover)

Although I personally prefer fiction set in reality, Miss Aherns captures your interest from the first page through her wit, humor, and vulnerability. The main character, Joyce, has a beautiful, loving relationship with her elderly father that will warm your heart. Her knowledge and understanding of the elderly is admirable. Her adventures are exciting and impulsive. This is a book you'll never want to finish.

This review is from: Thanks for the Memories: A Novel (Paperback)

I have loved all of Cecelia Ahern's books. For some reason, this one was just too unrealistic for me. It is about a woman who gets into a horrible accident and, as the result of a blood transfusion, suddenly has memories she doesn't recognize, which turn out to be from the blood donor. The two feel an unexplained connection to one another as a result. I love a touch of magic but I just couldn't really buy the basic plot premise of this book.
