Rating:  - Not everyone is as Charming as they seemThis is the first Marian Keyes I have read. I am sure it will not be the last; but I know what I am getting if I do pick one up. This has had mixed reviews and I can understand why, however I am prepared to look more openly at this book as I have not read previous ones to compare to. 'This Charming Man' is Paddy de Courcy who has had an effect on four different women Lola, Grace, Marnie and Alicia. He is the common denominator between them all but they also have something ... Read More Rating:  - Still trying to get through it.I've been reading MK's books since Watermelon and always await each new book with tapping feet and drumming fingers and this was no exception. However.. The book takes some getting into - i'm currently on page 445, and am finding myself putting it down every now and again before i fall into a depressive hole. Although some of her other books have covered darker topics such as addictions/infidelity/death/cancer this one doesn't break up the story with lighter moments - for me Lola is just ... Read More Rating:  - Excruciatingly boring!Uncommonly poor. The pacing is too slow, the story too long and the way Marnie's alcoolism was handled on this book appeared unrealistic to me. In addition, the change of fonts at every chapter was a real bad idea. Rating: - Really disapointingI have read most Marian Keyes' books and have enjoyed them all so was looking forward to this one....unfortunately I was very disapointed. Despite the very serious subject I just didn't care about the characters and in particular found the style in which Lola's chapters were written incredibly irritating and unintelligent. I gave up about a quarter of the way through as I just couldn't face any more - this book does not even begin to successfully portray the issues it was meant to be tackling. ... Read More Rating:  - Darker and more InterestingThis is somewhat darker than her previous novels and all the better for it. I love Marion Keyes for her light hearted feel good books. This is ultimately a feel good book, but the underlying currents make it much more interesting than usual. A definate way forward for Marion Keyes |
