Love Marian Keyes' novels - now that I've enjoyed her essays, I want to meet her and become best friends!

Excellent Marian Keyes articles and essays. Another great collection of her thoughts on everything under the sun with her great humor and thoughfulness.

While I generally enjoy Marian Keyes, I agree with her that she is better with longer works than with short stories. I enjoyed some of the articles, but I felt like this was not really new material for the most part. The story about the woman in the coma was really intriguing though, and I would be interested in reading a longer version of that one.

I usually tend to stray away from books like these, but it wasn’t bad! It’s a collection of stories and other little essays that I thought were really interesting. However, I do stay away for a reason. I prefer full novels with a solid plot throughout the whole thing because that’s just what keeps me interested. I did think that it was alright, and if you are someone who does like books like these than go ahead and pick it up. I do love Marian’s writing, but I think I’ll stick to her full 500 page novels next time. The little essays were nice, but just not for me.

Decidedly not funny

A collection of essays and short stories by the humorous Irish writer. The short stories are quirky and fun, but it's in the essays (reprinted from magazines such as Abroad or Marie Claire that her Irish charm shines through. She sounds like someone I would like to hang out with, although I don't know as she would want to hang out with *me.*

This is the same collection of essays that are in Further Under the Duvet.

Further Under the Duvet has a few additional short stories, so it's a better read.

Cute articles and short stories. I enjoyed her fiction short stories, most of them were very cute

I love this mix of essays and short stories. Whether Ms. Keyes is writing fiction or non-fiction, her words are always so easy to relate to. And so funny!

I think Marian Keyes is very funny and tells some entertaining stories . . . I didn't quite finish this book because some of her stories are more entertaining than others and some cover topics that are more interesting to me than others. The solution would be to probably skim through the ones I'd like and skip the ones that don't intrigue me as much. I might return to this book or others by her but got this at the library and it needed to be returned.

Marian Keyes is hilarious. I enjoyed this, but I enjoy her novels much more.

I really really liked it. It made me laugh and cry. It’s good if you wanna laugh but also learn from life and little stories that have morals of the story :)
