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
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
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
Cheerfully wry collection... It's witty and, contrary to the title, Ephron remembers much
Daily Express
Ephron's voice helped launch a whole new way of writing, and I still love to hear it
Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times
Fabulous... tremendously talented... She'll dazzle you with strings of perfect prose
Washington Post
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)
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
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
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
Sophisticatedly smart, freshly wide-eyed
The Times
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
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
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
