Cecilia zeigt gut wie es ist mit dem Verlust eines Geliebten umzugehen, aber mir gefällt persönlich nicht wie es geschrieben ist. Als ob es ein Grundschulkind geschrieben hätte. Sehr einfach und unspektakulär. Wenn mich also jetzt jemand fragen würde, ob ich es denn noch einmal lesen würde, würde ich den Kopf schütteln. Ich bin einfach nur glücklich es hinter mir zu haben. Hinzu kommt, dass ich eine Buchbesprechung über dieses Buch machen musste und ich dafür eine 4 bekommen habe. haha

When I was in 5th grade, there were a couple of girls who would purposefully take out really sappy, tearful books from the school library. I dubbed them "cancer books" because they were usually about a young girl or teenager who was dying of cancer and her healthy best friend.
This is what PS, I Love You reminded me of. It was excruciatingly depressing, to say the least. That is not to say that it was a horrible read, however. Actually, I rather enjoyed the book - it was far superior to the movie. It was just SO unbearably painful to read at times. I mean, break-ups are hard enough as it is, but how would you feel when the love of your life dies? That is a question that I find really difficult to ponder at this point...
Anyway, if you are like my 5th grade friends, pick up this book and get some tears flowing. It's also great for ladies who love quirky Irish writing (I do). But if what you're looking for is a pick-me-up, keep looking.

This was an interesting premise that was really badly executed. The story had such promise, but the storytelling was done in an inexperienced, childish way. I had seen the movie first, not knowing what the story would be about, and thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end, which is why I got compelled to buy the book.
Books are usually better than movie because they allow for more details, background stories and depth with regards to the characters, what they're thinking and why they're doing the things they do, but in this instance, the movie surpassed the book, and by a long shot. Worst part is, I had read some negative reviews about this book and I thought it couldn't possibly be that bad. I wish I had listened...
I really wanted to love that book. But I finished it feeling really disappointed and it left a sour note behind. This is one of those books that you want to warn people not to read.

There were a few things that surprised me about this book.
For one, I didn't know that it was turned into a movie. Secondly, I had no idea that this was Cecelia Ahern's debut novel. As this is my first novel to read from her, I can say that I would be reading more of her books. P.S. I Love You depicted the grief of someone who lost the love of her life and how that grief changed her in more than one way. It's a story about knowing and appreciating your friends, valuing your family and holding on to memories while living life and cherishing everything it has to offer.
