The first thing I should say is that I picked this book up about 4 hours ago and haven't been able to put it down since. It isn't a short book, it runs just over 300 pages, but I simply couldn't stop reading. The story of loss and finding yourself again afterward hits close to home. I too have lost a parent - my mom, suddenly a week before my 19th birthday. Many of the feelings were familiar ones. The unexpected anger at someone, the sudden crying at anything sad, are all true to life. How

I have read all of Cecelia Ahern's books after falling in love with her book P.S. I Love You. I'm sad to say that her 2 latest books, this and The Gift, have been major disappointments for me. This one is the worst yet.
I absolutely loved the premise of this book. The main character finds a book with entries in her writing from the next day. She then uses that information to influence how she will live her next day. I was looking for a whimsical read when I picked up this book, a More...

I am VERY disappointed that I never received my copy of this book. Will try emailing the person that posted the giveaway AGAIN.
I have neverread finished a book by Cecelia Ahern before. I tried to read P.S I Love You, but did not finish it, though I did like the movie. I also tried to read The Gift, but I just wasn't interested. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance??

What We Have Learned Today. This is the last chapter of the book & I find it quite amusing. I love it. I like the part when Tamara said "Maybe some day when I'm in trouble again I'll dig it up & see what it has to say. But in the meantime, I'll have to find my own way.

Wouldn't it be fun to have a diary that could tell you what was going to happen the next day, a diary that would prepare you for the worst and allow you that chance to change it first. It's not a thought that has ever crossed my mind until now that is. What an amazing book!! I loved her first book that I read, P.S I love you, and so I knew to expect great things from her this time as well. I enjoyed the fact that it was written about a teenage girl and that it held a lot of mystery and fun withi

Why I picked it up: I needed an apple tree for my reading scavenger hunt and this is the book my friend & coworker Christie used for that, and she thought I might like it.
This book started slow, and Christie warned me about that. You don’t really like the main character at first. But then it starts to get a little mysterious and intriguing, and the middle of the book is quite good and fun and suspenseful without being stressful. And there are some fun characters.

"It's got nothing to do with religion, it's got nothing to do with mental stability, but it has everything to do with the human mind's natural instinct, which is to hope beyond all hope, unless you're a cynical bastard. It's got to do with love, with losing somebody you love, a part of you being torn away that you'd do almost anything or believe anything to have returned to you. It's hope that some day you'll see them again, that you can still feel them near you. Hope like that, as I though

I read PS I Love You and was enchanted. Unfortunately, this book was not as well fleshed out as the other.
Tamara is a spoiled brat whose father's suicide leaves her penniless. Her mother is depressed and catatonic and refuses to leave the room of her uncle's house, where they are now staying. Tamara is then left to wander about the countryside in the dinky, out of the way, crumbling estate for which her uncle is groundskeeper.

Told in breezy, first person singular by the audacious Tamara Goodwin, THE BOOK OF TOMORROW is a Young Adult book with a gothic heart. No matter how often Tamara drops the f-bomb and talks about sex, this is not a modern novel. When Tamara's once-successful father commits suicide, she and her mother are dropped into a completely rural environment to live with Uncle Arthur (nasal, nice, and for most of the book, a non-entity) and Aunt Rosaleen, a demon cleaner and constant cook who changes the su

A few years ago, I read P.S. I love you and cried pretty much all the way through it. It didn't change my literary world but it was a nice little read. That was pretty much what I expected from The Book of Tomorrow and I wasn't disappointed. Actually, this reminded me a lot of the amateur detective-type books I read as a teen, like the Nancy Drew series, for example.

Overall Review: In The Book of Tomorrow, Cecelia Ahern creatively unfolds the story of a self-centered rich girl, Tamara Goodwin, getting a dose of reality. The first chapters are a story of their own, telling of her more comfortable, affluent lifestyle with parties, irresponsibility and backstabbing. The real story begins when her life is suddenly altered by her father's suicide. You begin to feel the eeriness that sets the tone for the rest of the book as you follow Tamara and her boundary-pu

Before reading The Book Of Tomorrow I had only read one book by Cecelia Ahern which was The Gift. I did enjoy The Gift but it didn't make enough impression on me to put Cecelia Ahern at the top of my favourite authors list and so I did not rush out to find any of her other books. When searching for a book I always try my Library's returns section and this is where I found The Book Of Tomorrow. From the cover it looked to me to be a bit of a mystical book, and when reading the back for further in

I was thrilled to receive an advance copy of The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern. Saying she is one of my favorite authors is an understatement. She has the awesome ability to write for the heart and she definitely delivered in this novel. Ms. Ahern captivated my attention from the very beginning. She also completely surprised me.

Like so many other reviewers, I reached a point in this book where I literally could not put it down. Teenager Tamara was born into the lap of luxury in Ireland. Private schools, designer clothes, houses on several continents, and personal jets to take herself and friends for one-day shopping trips in Paris, New York, etc. Until her father commits suicide and everything is lost. Tamara and her mother are forced to live with their only living relatives in a small hamlet in Ireland in the gatehou

While Tamara is struggling to cope with the abrupt and painful changes to her life, she discovers a diary that, magically, appears to show her events that will take place on the following day, through diary entries written in her own hand.

Needing a home, they moved to the middle of nowhere with Tamara's aunt, Rosaleen and uncle, Arthur - the Deliverance Duo - as Tamara calls them.

I'm only giving 3 stars because I don't think I "really like" anything anymore, to be quite honest! However...
I flew through this book and at times couldn't put it down. I was very interested in Tamara's story and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen with her. I would have liked to see things wrapped up a little tighter at the end. There were still a few holes for me (but I can sometimes be like that. I just want to know more!).

Fans of Cecelia Ahern’s work will no doubt love her latest novel, The Book of Tomorrow, but typical YA readers may have a more difficult time getting into this beautifully written, but slow-paced story about a spoiled teen girl who learns some hard lessons about life, fate and how your actions affect the world around you.

I've read only one Cecilia Ahern book before and really enjoyed it. I really like her writing style, it's very casual and real. She has a knack for slipping back and forth between the dramatic and the hilarious seamlessly. It's what I like about the first book I read of hers (Thanks for the Memories) and it's definitely a good point of this book as well.

My first experience with Cecelia Ahern was P.S. I Love You, and even though I loved the movie, and even though it seems like the kind of book I should adore, I couldn't finish it. I can honestly say that it is maybe one of 5 books I have ever not finished in my life - I got maybe three or four chapters in and then gave up. And to this day I still can't say why.
