kitty_kitty Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I have just read this book in a couple of days and it is fantastic. As always it is incredibly funny and touches on very serious issues. I loved it and i cannot recommend it enough - in fact it made me laugh out loads of times! Just read it - i do not want to say too much in case i reveal any part of the plot!!! Quote
ChickLitMom Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks for the recommendation! I really like Marian Keyes. I will add it to my TBR pile! Quote
Bronwen Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I absolutely adored this book! Thought it was a great read and would recommend it to anyone, even my partner who promptly said 'I thought that was a girly book' to which I replied 'So?' Quote
Bronwen Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Is the paperback not out? I have it because my mum ordered it from her book club. Quote
LucyD Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 That might be one of those big 'trade paperbacks' Bronwen but no, the mass-market one isn't out yet. I'm waiting for that too! Quote
scottishbookworm Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I read it too! I bought a copy to take with me to salou! I read it and enjoyed it! it's an entertaining read I must tell anyone who's not got the book yet! Quote
flowersarah Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 It's on my list to read. I just finished a Marion Keyes book and loved it. She's fab. Quote
scottishbookworm Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 It's on my list to read. I just finished a Marion Keyes book and loved it. She's fab. which one? Why don't you write to marian and let her know you loved her work? I do that! Quote
flowersarah Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 which one? Why don't you write to marian and let her know you loved her work? I do that! Angels. I read "Anybody Out There?" last year and loved that too. Quote
kelly2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I have "Anybody Out There?" but I've been put off reading it because I haven't read any of the other books in the series Quote
flowersarah Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I have "Anybody Out There?" but I've been put off reading it because I haven't read any of the other books in the series I didn't actually realise they were a series at first. As I said before I read "Anybody Out There?" before "Angels" but it didn't really matter. I just thought once what happened when the main character in "Anybody About Out?" was mentioned but didn't ruin the book. It's not a series where you need to read them in order I think. Quote
scottishbookworm Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Angels. I read "Anybody Out There?" last year and loved that too. me too sarah! that book is good I've not read yet Rachel's holiday! I've still to read that one! have you read that? I was wondering if it's just as good as her other work? Quote
flowersarah Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 me too sarah! that book is good I've not read yet Rachel's holiday! I've still to read that one! have you read that? I was wondering if it's just as good as her other work? I've not read it yet but it's in my cupboard waiting to be read. If it's anything like Anybody Out There? and Angels it should be great. Quote

scottishbookworm Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Rachel's Holiday is one of her best I'll check it out Quote
Sis' Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I just finished This Charming Man, and was surprised as to how different from her other books it is! But it was really good, and i loved it! I only need to read Angels, then ive read them all. Theyre all really great, except Watermelon, i somehow didnt really like it much... Quote
Ceinwenn Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I read This charming Man in June while I was in Canada & I HATED it! The story is great, but the telling of the story is what drove me absolutely crazy! Such a great idea for a book, but I thought that it was terribly done (without giving anything away). Marian Keyes usually does so much better! Quote

Marian Keyes usually does so much better! In what way is the telling of the story annoying? Quote
