A Place Called Here
This book was released in 2007 with the title " A place called here" It is exactly the same book just different titles!!!! I was very disapointed and annoyed to find that I have two copies of a book that isn't that great!! Other readers watch out for this!

I hadn't read anything by Cecelia Ahern and this book was recommended to me from a friend as one to take on my two week honeymoon to the Maldives and so it was...
From the start this story gripped me, I just couldn't put it down, every second I had I was reading, eager to see what happened next.
This really is what you miss from fairytales as a child, of course what happens to Sandy Shortt (who, by the way is very very tall) will never ever happen to any one of us in real life but hey! that's what fairytales are for! I was very well entertained and my love for this book caused me to go out and buy all the other Cecelia Ahern books too (more reviews to come then!) The way the story is written is fantastic it has the perfect amount of twists and entertaining corners and yes, it makes me think of "a place called here" everytime I lose stuff ... especially socks!

I will say that I did like this book, but I was disappointed with the ending, it felt a little rushed. The start was a bit slow and it wasn't clear either how the ending came about. but still a good read and I'm still a big fan of Ms. Ahern's books. Look forward to her next one, whenever that may be.

Pedestrian fantasy
Starts well, sort of fizzles out. Early on there's real mystery as to what has happened to the main character. In this kind of book the explanation is usually a disappointment. Read more
