So I decided to read another book to give me a breather. I chose this little book, a compilation of 2 short stories by Cecelia Ahern. This was given to me by my best friend. Alas, the first story is weird and creepy, about a mysterious mirror inside an old lady's house. Good thing the second story is more sentimental, about a man who invented a machine that can recreate memories. Although I didn't like this as much as her other books, these short stories are thought-provoking. I'm glad it didn't give me nightmares though, especially the first story. What made me pick up this book was it being written by Cecelia Ahern. However it appears to be different from the books of hers that I've already read. I like the fact that they are short stories, wrapped up neatly in a mere 40 pages or so. Both stories are okay and I did wonder where they were going. I read both stories in one sitting which didn't prove difficult. The Girl in the Mirror was a little strange and I couldn't have predicted what was going to happen. A strange little story. The Memory maker was also another little strange number and again, I didn't really have a clue how that was going to end. All in all, they passed the time and although I didn't love them, they were okay. The first story in this book was haunting. It still sticks with me now, and I find myself constantly still thinking about it. Lila is a young woman we follow, and in part her relationship with her grandmother. A terrible family secret comes to light on the day of her wedding (but it could have easily been any other day). It was creepy, but the wrap up was great and unexpected. Interesting resolution. One of the best short stories I have read in a long time. I have to say, I may have enjoyed the second one more if I read it first. Compared to the first, I had a lukewarm reaction to it. It is about a man who invents a machine the public queues for months to get to use. They call it the memory maker, but he hates that name. He hires a wonderful woman to assist him, as his ‘business’ has gotten out of hand. But really it is all about his struggle with life. And this one did very little to surprise me. I guess my expectations were high after the first one, and I wanted more. All in all, and enjoyable read, and I am never disappointed by Ahearn. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

First story was very well written. Creepy horror movie style and it gave the shivers. So well done.
Second one was a bit too vague. ( )
