 Can dreams come true June 26, 2008
Fresh from a broken marriage and the loss of an unborn child, the heroine begins to feel different, and full of knowledge that she has never had before - she finds herself running into the hero coincidentally all the time, but finally after much misunderstanding, it all works out for them both. Cecelia Ahern has a way of allowing you to conjure up pictures in your mind and it is just so magical!
Good June 23, 2008
Good story line. Felt like there was a missing chapter late in the book, one of those "then a month later..." statements. I would have like to have read that chapter as I enjoyed all the others. Easy read, but fun. Well described characters. Funny bits. Well paced.
 A nice read, but that's all June 20, 2008
I had been waiting to get my hands on this book for a few months and so probably helped fuel my own high expectations. Unfortunately, they weren't met. I found the book was enjoyable, but not a page turner and something I could put down. Some moments were great, and some were a little frustrating. A good book to read if you've got nothing else on your priority book list.
Better then "P.S I Love You" but not as good as "If you could see me now"! June 19, 2008
The 4th Cecilia Ahern book I have read, "Thanks for the memories" is not one of my favourite but I did enjoy it. I think the Father was a really likeable, funny and warm charachter but I felt some of the other charachters didn't stand at as well as they could have. The theme was an unusual one but it seemed a bit more predictable then some of the other books in its plot. I suppose it wasn't quite so "fairytaleish" as "If you could see me now" and "A place called here" which I have come to like about Cecilia's books. Still an enjoyable story which touches upon the important subject of blood donation. That can only be a good thing.
 Am i the only person who thinks 'how does she do it?' June 10, 2008

Am i the only person who thinks 'How does Cecelia Ahern get away with writing such poor and fluffy prose?'.
I've said it before, her ideas are fantastic but her writing is childish and immature. I would love to see what she presents to her editor and what her editor edits because what ends up on the book shelves is amateur barely readable chicklit.
I don't think her writing has improved with age, 'Thanks for the memories' is not that much better than 'PS I love you'.
The father in this novel is annoying. I find it hard to get past the first chapter of her books but i managed to get through 'Thanks for memories' and i'm left thinking 'no thanks for the memories'.
Ceceila is good at generating heart felt themes but her writing is so weak and thin and childish she fails on every level to make you believe or see her characters come to life.
