Book Reviews of Remember Me?
Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an avid Kinsella fan and her books just keep getting better and better! I laughed so hard! Loved the book!Book Review: Interesting and Thought-provoking
Summary: 5 Stars
I truly enjoyed this book. It was so interesting to read about someone who has amnesia.
Poor Lexi was torn between her lost memory and what her body wanted to do. Her instincts were right on when she rejected Eric's advances. Although he was her husband, she was in love with someone else. Right away-she was attacted to Jon, but held back because she was married to someone else.
She made a mistake-made the wrong choices: the husband and the cobra attitude to succeed in business.
This reminded me of that dvd: 13 going on 30. They were similiar because the main characters forgot their past (in this book 3 years) and came to the future to find out that they had behaved badly. They made things right and goodness triumphed in the end.
Book Review: Another great read by Sophie Kinsella
Summary: 4 Stars
While not as humorous as some of Sophie Kinsella's other books, I really enjoyed this one.
A story about how Lexi's ordinary life is literally transformed overnight (at least as far as she's concerned) due to amnesia. She's forced into a seemingly pefect life and forced to ask herself some tough questions, like what's a "perfect" life, what drives you for success, what's important to you etc.
As with most of Sophie Kinsella's books, there's some career focus, romance, friendships and family life. A nice, light read that really holds your interest with great characters and lots of things that are relatable.
I can't wait for her next book. I have read all of her books and will be certain to read them again or listen to the audio. (abridged and unabridged)
I listened to audio version on this one read by Rosalyn Landry (she also read the last 2 Shopaholic Books and Undomestic Godess (unabridged). She's an okay narrator and does a nice job, but I missed Emily Gray, who narrated the first 3 Shopaholic Books and the abridged version of "Can You Keep A Secret" - Emily is amazing.
Book Review: In a nutshell: brilliant book
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been awhile since a book grabbed me from the first page, but this one did. The characters are very well-developed and interesting from the beginning, and the addition of the mystery surrounding the lost memory and her transformation make for a very compelling story. I found myself actively rooting for Lexi - willing her to see what was so painfully obvious! And yet, despite the fact that maybe she's a bit too trusting and might come across as a bit dense (I mean, really, why couldn't she see what was so painfully obvious?) she's eminently likeable. Who knows how anyone would react being thrust into that situation? It's a frightening scenario, and I think the flaws in her lent a great deal of credibility to the story. And you're willing her to have the storybook happy ending.
As for the ending, I won't give anything away but I will say (despite the true cheesiness of the last line) I was impressed. It was handled very well and... I liked it. It was a great finish to an engrossing story.
Though I like the Shopaholic books, this one is in a league of its own. Okay, yes, it is still a 'chick' book, but one of the better done ones. I think it would make a brilliant movie. I would recommend it to anyone who likes chick-lit, and even a few people who aren't so keen on it. Try it, it might surprise you.
Book Review: My Favorite Kinsella Book Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Sophie Kinsella, but have slowly tired of the Shopaholic series. That's why I love it when she puts out non-Shopahlic books. This novel was no disapointment! It's actually my favorite Kinsella yet. I swallowed the whole thing in the course a day. Could not put it down. Kinsella takes an unrealistic topic, but makes it seem plausible. Her character's voice is addicting. Loved it! (Wish there was more love story at the end, though. I wanted to keep reading more! Would've enjoyed an epilogue.)
