5.0 out of 5 stars
An absolute gem,
By
This review is from: Thanks for the Memories (Paperback)
If I could have given this book 10 stars I would have.
I have read all of her books and enjoyed them but this is the best by far. All of the characters are likeable, but the dad is one of the loveliest characters I have come across in a long time. Although the plot may seem a little far fetched, it is still somehow believable, maybe because you want it to be. It is laugh out loud funny in places, especially the part with the dad and the baggage carousel - quite embarrassing in a doctors waiting room - but also some great one liners. There is some beautifully written insight into emotions, with the opening chapter being very moving and profound. I whole heartedly recommend this book and will very probably read it again because I miss the dad, and this isn't something that I do often, apart from Fannie Flagg's, Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man. It brought a tear to my eye, a smile to my lips and a laugh from my belly, what more could you want from a book than that?

5.0 out of 5 stars
Thoroughly enjoyable,
By Sparkly Kate (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thanks for the Memories (Paperback)
I've read alot of this genre of books and find many far too predictable, thinking i could do better. But I must admit I have always enjoyed Cecelia Ahern's. This book however is by far my favourite of hers.
If book can make me giggle out loud when I read it on a dull day on the bus to the office then its a winner. Admittedly i sat embarassed to hell, shoulders shaking trying to suppress my giggles, and had to stop reading! But what a great way to start the day. And to top it off, when i read it on the way home, the same happened again!! I was sad to finish reading it. The characters were great and the father, daughter relationship was beautiful. If you like a nice get away from it read, nothing too heavy, then definitely go for this one...and I wonder if you laugh out loud at the same bits that i did!

Cecelia is at it again, and we should all be glad,
By Sarah H. (Surrey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thanks for the Memories (Paperback)
Cecelia Ahern, author of PS, I LOVE YOU and the fantastic WHERE RAINBOWS END has given us what is possibly her best book: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
Protagonist in this marvelous book is a woman by the name of Joyce Conway. She has this uncanny knack for remembering things that, well, shouldn't be there. Disturbing as this is, things get worse (as they should in any novel that's to keep your interest). Her life starts to fall apart, especially after an accident she has. The plot of THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES will seem contrived and far-fetched to some, but think about it: when was the last time you read anything that wasn't at least a little unbelievable--that's why we read and watch movies. If you want real life, blow-by-blow, go out and live it. If you want a great story, buy this book. I have to say that this is one of the best novels I've come across in years. Of the three books I've recently read that made me laugh, cry, and THINK, this was one of the best. The other two were NAKED by David Sedaris, which is VERY funny and at the same time sad, and the new novel BARRING SOME UNFORESEEN ACCIDENT--totally off the wall and worth every cent; really great book with twists and turns that you WON'T see coming for a mile. If you're not a Cecelia Ahern fan yet, and haven't read THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, you might start with her WHERE RAINBOWS END as it too is a great story.
