Where Rainbows End by Ahern, Cecelia (March 1, 2012) Paperback

Really enjoyed this book

It's an OK book I'm not keen on the way it's written as basically emails to each other alot but as usual cecelia a herne has written a good book

Where Rainbows And is a book you will want to read over and over again. It's a story of love through the ages and the hope that life will bring.Written in the style of emails, letters and text messages it keeps you gripped all the way through.A great story about how life can take you in so many directions and places you only dreamt about

This is somewhat reminiscent of "One Day" by David Nicholls (had Cecelia Ahern read that before writing this book?). Unfortunately, "Where Rainbows End" is not nearly so well-written and it is much too long. The same sorts of situations keep on being repeated until the plot becomes ridiculous and totally unbelievable. Very disappointed indeed with this book.

What a fantastic book. First paperback I have read in years....normally the kindle. What a treat ! Very well written in style of emails and letters. So good I couldn't put it down. Read in two days. Don't want to give too much away but did laugh out loud and shed a few tears too. :-)

For a present. Good condition

Where Rainbows End (also known as Love, Rosie) is a wonderful story chock-full of so many emotions. I laughed, I (almost) cried, I was even angry at times. It was just so unique. Cecelia Ahern just knows how to hook you into her books.Where Rainbows End is told solely via a series of letters, emails, texts and newspaper articles. This is what I found most unique and interesting about the story. It just really helped me feel so close to all the characters. I felt like I was living their story. It just felt so real to me. Where Rainbows End starts when the main characters, Rosie and Alex, are five years old and goes through all the ups and downs of their lives, and friendship, right up to the age of fifty.I really liked both Rosie and Alex and I couldn't help but root for them. It was definitely frustrating when things didn't go to plan, but for them to keep up a friendship for over forty years is brilliant. They just know the ins and outs of each other and their only problem is being able to communicate effectively. But it's always going to be difficult to have a heartfelt conversation across two countries.I also loved Rosie's other best friend, Ruby. She's just so out-there and crazy. It's fantastic. But she's not afraid to tell Rosie what she really thinks and pushes her in the right direction.I also loved how family-orientated Where Rainbows End is. Both Rosie's family and Alex's family appear to be pretty close-knit with great relationships. Apart from Kevin, Rosie's brother. They're just so supportive of each other and they don't let distance get between them.I did find Where Rainbows End a bit predictable in places. I just knew what a lot of the twists keeping Rosie and Alex apart would be. It was definitely easy to spot the clues. However, this didn't stop my enjoyment of the story and I was desperate to see how they would get around the obstacles thrown their way.The story was also slow at times, but in general, over forty years are covered at a pretty good speed. It didn't feel rushed and didn't drag on too much either. And the various time jumps were easy to spot and understand - perhaps because of the way the story is told via correspondence. The twists were also resolved nicely too and I thought the ending was lovely. It couldn't have been more perfect, in my opinion.Where Rainbows End is a lovely, heartfelt story of love and friendship. I couldn't put the book down! I would definitely recommend it to fans of contemporary romance, as well as fans of Cecelia Ahern. It's such a memorable read. I already can’t wait to watch the film and fingers crossed it lives up to this book!

When I began reading this book I was apprenhensive due to it's dysfuntional layout (it is written in the form of letters and messages), however the story was so gripping I could not put it down. The characters are very likable and as a reader you feel invested in their lives. I would strongly reccomend this book as the chracters, plot and events are very authentic and relatable. Towards the end it does feel as though you're waiting a long time for the story to get resolved, however the ending does not disappoint.If you have seen the film version 'Love, Rosie' before reading this, be aware it is vastly different.

I like the story a lot. Mostly because I loved "Love, Rosie". But I didn't like the format of the book. It was hard to read since it is set up as if it is just a bunch of emails, letters.

I don't care for the format this book was written in. It makes it confusing as to who is talking/thinking at any given time.
