Book review : Where Rainbows End,Cecelia Ahern (NaBloPoMo day 20)

June 20, 2010

We live in a voyeuristic era. We love to read people’s tweets, we love to know what people are doing, who are they conversing with. It is the era of communication and Cecelia Ahern uses this medium of emails and text messages to put across a wonderfully charming tale of best friends. The entire story is narrated via a series of emails, text messages and letters, and through these conversations reflects the personalities and lives of the characters. “Where rainbows end” was recommended to me by my best friend and I may take her out for a treat for this recommendation!

The book is wonderful, refreshing, charming and funny. The characters engage you, and you start feeling for them just a few chapters down the line. The book touches on a lot of trials and problems that life may have to offer, and a reader identifies with at least a few if not all things that the characters go through. Alex and Rosie are childhood friends, and as the book progresses, it is very interesting to see them grow as people. The story is about friendship, love, motherhood, career and fate. Fate is the main character in the story.

Pick it up for a light, fun yet heartwarming read. The characters will stay in your heart for a long, long time.

    The book is quite adorable..read it twice(where rainbows end) but I loved IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW better for its sheer child-like quality and an amalgamation of adult and kids world… an instant appeal to the heart… it simply grows on you ….and the lingering melancholic notes of the inevitable haunts the reader for ever…
