Instant satisfaction from literary chocolate

Customer Rating:

It's been a while since I've read any of Marian Keyes' books and I don't know why. Her books have an instant feel-good factor, and as the title suggests, makes you want to snuggle up under the duvet with a big bar of chocolate. I thoroughly enjoyed the journalistic articles in the book but I didn't really take to a couple of the short stories or the Mammy Walsh problem pages. I just lost interest, maybe because I was really longing for more of the true-life stuff. I haven't read the first book "Under the Duvet" and I will definitely be rushing out to buy a copy. Marian Keyes is a great writer and long may she keep writing!

Excellent

I have read all the other marian keyes books but not the "under the duvet" series...I held the writers belief that short stories were a waste of time as just as you started liking the characters the story was over! However, i was glad that marian had changed her mind and wrote a collection of short stories and she has now managed to change mine! The stories are great and some so funny that i had to bite my cheeks on the train as i tried to stifle a massive laugh...of course the woman opposite me on the train caught me giggling inanely and told me that laughing at books on trains makes you look mad...but hey what the hell! I am now going to buy the next first under the duvet book as the second one is great so i am sure the first one is just as good. Go buy this book as marians sense of humour is just as good in a short story as it is in a long thick book!
