Format:Paperback
This is the story of three women with very different personalities.
Aishling is delighted when she gets a new job on a new magazine called Colleen. Shes had a difficult life, the story tells us how her mothers depression has affected her own life and personality. She is the main character in the book and very likable. We hear about the men in her life... mainly Marcus. Yuck.
Lisa is looking forward to a big promotion, but almost falls to pieces when she realises that she's been sent from London to work in Dublin as Editor in Chief of Colleen. She's an interesting character and you find yourself hoping things work out for her as she tries to cope with a divorce from Oliver.
Then Clodagh, the most unlikable of the three, she seems to have the perfect life. She's also Ashling's best friends. Married with two kids and the perfect husband. Only problem is she's bored senseless and doesn't care who she hurts for a bit of excitement.
I really enjoy Keyes books, they are a real pick me up. Her sense of humour shines through and you cant help but laugh out loud.

Like many of the people who have reviewed the book, I am a huge fan of Marian Keyes. I have enjoyed her previous books immensely and have recommended them to everyone I can. I was very anxious to read Sushi for Beginners and couldn't wait for it to arrive from Amazon. I quickly dove into the book and liked the first 200-300 pages, but after that I felt like it dragged on and had to force myself to finish. This book seemed very much like a tired re-tread of Last Chance Saloon and too much like the mediocre efforts of Marian wannabes. Characters were not explored enough, the dialogue was not as funny or witty as in previous novels, there were issues that were left unanswered... and some of the characters were horribly unlikeable. You could have slapped any author's name on the cover... and you wouldn't have known the difference because Marian's signature wit and insight into what makes us tick are sadly missing. Is the book still worth reading? Yes. Even when she's just "writing by numbers", the book is still miles better than 95% of the books in the same genre. It must be difficult to always attain the level of greatness Marian has achieved with her previous novels, but I really hope the next one is back on track. We all know she is far more talented than Sushi for Beginners suggests.

book review of sushi for beginners
It was a good copy, it had arrived on time, however I did not enjoy reading the book itself :)

Brilliant!
This must be one of the author's best books. It's about three completely different women in their thirties and the book is set in the world of magazines. Read more
