I was conflicted between a 3 and 4 star rating. The story didn't go where I expected it to, or even where I thought it would not go... I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending. I will most likely need some time to think about this one. Nevertheless, the theme of 'time', or lack thereof, did come through well. In the end, what got me to cave to 4 stars was the writing. Throughout the entire book, I could picture every scene, every detail, every emotion- so vividly. It was like watching a movie. At times it was even as though I was in the very same room as the characters. I was completely transported to that world.
As a side note: I've had this book on my shelf for three years, always thinking that I had to read it during the Christmas season, and never finding the time for it. Don't make my mistake. Despite the cover art, The Gift by Cecelia Ahern doesn't have to be a Christmas read and is easily enjoyable at any time of the year.
