Under the Duvet Shoes Reviews Having the Blues Builders Babies Families and Other Calamities Marian Keyes Books

She's young. She's hip. She's Irish. And she has written some of the most entertaining and humorous novels I've had the pleasure of reading. So it is quite a treat for me to sit down and enjoy what our Irish cousins have already been treated to....a collection of many of her columns which have appeared in the Irish Times newspaper. This may be old hat to Dubliners, but it's a newfound treasure for most Americans.
The book is like a box of chocolates and each short read is a tasty little morsel to devour and enjoy. What a treat it is to get this inside look at one of my favorite authors and share in her musings on just about everything. How does it feel to see someone actually purchase your book? How did she get the background material for Sushi? What was the nicest time of her life? How did it feel to be at a book signing for Rachel's Holiday and have no one show up? What are her feelings on shoes, Catholicism, real estate agents, and a whole lot more.
My personal favorite was "Happy Christmas! Form An Orderly Queue" not only because I love to read any work set at Christmastime but because of the glimpse it gives us into Marian's family life which just had to have been the basis for the wild and whacky Walsh clan of many of her novels.
If you love Marian Keyes already or if you just like short humorous pieces to make you laugh out loud, I highly recommend this one.

Under the Duvet Shoes Reviews Having the Blues Builders Babies Families and Other Calamities Marian Keyes Books Reviews

I enjoyed this book. I have read a few of Marion Keyes books. She has a great turn of phrase and has experienced lifes ups and downs. After reading these articles I can understand where some of her ideas for stories come from.
Under the duvet was a series of very short stories or articles put together and called a book. I felt let down and wanted more.
I loved this book . It was so refreshing , almost like getting to know the author. It was honest and good fun.
I actually got into Marian Keyes through this book when I picked it up at a used book stores. As a writer mself I find her stories very funny. I also really like her fiction too.
This book is one I had been chasing for a long while but it was always elusive. I was not disappointed. Marian Keyes has this knack of making everything she writes addictive. You just can't put it down. Normal everyday occurances rib tickling funny. Looking forward to her latest novel.
I absonutley love Marian Keyes, she can make me laugh when I feel sad. She has had such a wonderful way of telling a story and her own story is no exception, she had overcome her addictions and has seen her demons off with great strength and a fantastic sense of humour.
Some parts were funny but maybe since I'm in the US, I didn't understand a lot of the things she talked about
