magical and heart warming!! - By: V. L. Hawden, 01 Dec 2008 
I sat & read this book allin one go on a 6 hour flight home, despite needing sleep! Its brilliant, magical & heart warming.
I loved P.S I love you & Rainbows end, the others after that i didn't like,in fact gave up reading! (didn't even buy Thanks for the memories!) But The Gift is truly, truly lovely. There is a very powerful message at the end which i wont reveal but if you want a book to make you think, cry & become addicted too - this is for you!!
Absolute brilliance, words twisted together to warm the heart.
Couldn't put down - as usual! - By: I. McFadyen, 30 Nov 2008 
I love Cecelia Ahern's writing - donlt think she's written a book yet where i haven't had a few teary moments at some point.
Loved that fact that this was a hard back & so beautifully packaged with the real red bow around it - I almost didn't was to open it but i was glad i did.
Cecelia normally writes about a main female character from a female perspective. In this book it was a male character who the story centred around & I found this a little strange but intriguing. It took me a couple of chapters to get into it but i realised i was hooked when my boss asked me if i was planning to do any work that day - i'd overshot my lunch by a good 20 minutes & hadn't even noticed. I don't want to give any of the story away but suffice to say there was a few funny moments & also a few tears shed by the end. What can i say - just buy it!

Life, love and heartstrings - By: Wyvernfriend, 19 Nov 2008 
Having just seen parts of her father's biography on RTE (Ireland's National TV station) & it noting that he was quite the absent father, I have to wonder how much of this is wishful thinking on the part of Cecelia Ahern.
It's a story about a boy who throws a semi-frozen turkey through a window who gets told a story about another man. A workaholic who learns lessons about the important thingsin life & who realises that life is now not tomorrow.
I can see this one splitting it's audience. It's unsubtlein it's message & pretty obviousin it's heart-string tugging. A little too obvious for my tastes, I'm sure other people's mileage may vary.
The packagaing is cute, the ribbon isn't a permanent part of the cover though & as it's usually shrink wrapped the lack of cover details makes it hard to decide what it's all about.
