Reviews

You don't have to be old to appreciate this collection of memories, aphorisms and stern good advice from America's favourite naughty aunt... snigger-out-loud... Reading this book is a little like being sat down by an older, wiser friend... good advice indeed

—— Independent on Sunday

Read Nora Ephron because she's funny, read her because she's wise, read her because she never writes a boring sentence, read her because she's sharp as a knife but her heart's in the right place... Enjoy!

—— David Robson , Daily Express

As always, she has an eye for the killer detail... a mixture of memoir, rants and observations... This book is as grown-up as a dirty martini

—— Daisy Goodwin , The Sunday Times

If we have to grow old (and as they say, consider the alternative) there's no better guide

—— People Magazine (Top 10 Books of 2010)

Tantalizingly fresh and forthright... She's self-effacing and brilliant. I use lines of hers all the time... She's like Benjamin Franklin or Shakespeare: her words are now part of the fabric of the English language

—— The New York Times Book Review

As a writer,novelist and award-winning screenwriter and director of films such as When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless In Seattle, she has had the ability to surf the zeitgeist and make whatever is on her mind... seem fascinating and cool... her book is essential reading for anyone who hopes to grow old elegantly and perhaps a little disgracefully

—— Jane Shilling , Mail on Sunday

So clear-eyed, so free of vitriol and sarcasm and artifice that we believe everything she says... If a theme runs beneath the wit and cleverness of I Remember Nothing, it is about the difficulty of coming to terms with one's mortality

—— Jane Juska , San Francisco Chronicle

Ephron's voice helped launch a whole new way of writing, and I still love to hear it

—— Mary McNamara , Los Angeles Times

Witty and carefree... She remains the neighbor we all wish we had. Someone to share a cup of coffee with. Or better yet, a glass of wine. Maybe two... Listen... If we're all headed to the old folks home, we couldn't have a better guide than Nora Ephron

—— USA Today

Rich with self-deprecating humor at its finest... so much so that you can almost hear her laughing as she pounds away at the keyboard... a full pleasure to read

—— New York Journal of Books

She can write an entertaining riff about practically anything or everybody

—— Janet Maslin , The New York Times

Fabulous... tremendously talented... She'll dazzle you with strings of perfect prose

—— Washington Post

Sophisticatedly smart, freshly wide-eyed

—— The Times

Cheerfully wry collection... It's witty and, contrary to the title, Ephron remembers much

—— Daily Express

Full of anecdotal gifts you will never forget... Ephron reflects on the early days of her career-memories of her time working as a mail girl at Newsweek and writing for Esquire-while taking every opportunity to get real about her life at the time she was penning this memoir.

—— Oprah Magazine
