Rated by Nadia:

Better than the movie, as is typically the case. Dark and definitely violent, but not surprising if you've read other works by this author.

Finished on February 13th 2008
Rated by Nadia:

Although the character is easy to identify with at times and detestable at others, this book is a fairly good light chic lit read.

Ps , I Love You

by Cecelia Ahern
Finished on February 2nd 2008
Rated by Nadia:

A good selection if you enjoy chic lit. The author also happens to be the daughter of the prime minister of Ireland, so her publication was not surprising. She is able to generate most of the the characters with humor and youthful wit; I definitely smiled at some anecdotes. However, there is some lack of depth at times with character development. Overall, a fun read.
