2.0 out of 5 stars Not A True Keyes, 5 Sep 2001
By S. WIlliams (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a huge Marian Keyes fan and ordered this title before it came out, spending quite a bit on International shipping (Keyes books are hard to find in the US). Unfortunately, I was unaware that this was part of a series for poor readers and was disappointed to find a short story, written at about a third grader's reading level. Hints of Keyes cleverness remain but most have been wiped away by the format, which is designed for very easy reading (small words, large type, etc.). I'm an avid reader and whipped through this story in (literally) 15 minutes. I'd recommend Keyes fans skip this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars should have been an illustrated novel ..., 13 Mar 2007
By J. Macmillan "jengmmac" (Austria) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a keen Marian Keyes fan, and eagerly purchase all of her new novels. But this one is very different, and a bit of a disappointment because of it. Firstly it is very short - at 64 pages really only a chapter. Add to that, the MK brand of humour is conspicuously absent - no doubt the story content is partly to blame (although MK has dealt with death before and not faltered at the challenge) but it feels as if the length works against it. There simply isn't the time to develop the quirky characters and sense of humour that usually characterises a MK story. I can't help but feel that it would have been improved by some strong visuals, and that a Terry Pratchett-esque illustrated novel treatment would have provided some depth to the characters. My recommendation - a pleasant enough story, but don't expect a MK classic read or any stand out "fabulous characters - it simly isn't there.

2.0 out of 5 stars No Dress Rehearsal, 10 Aug 2006
By N. R. Wise (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a big Marian Keyes fan, but felt extremely disappointed and let down with this book. It is very short so not at all worth the price. The story leaves you reflecting on life and living, which I am sure is the aim, but for a Marian Keyes book it hasn't got the captivation and flow that her other stories, even the short ones have got. I would not recommend paying full price for this book, unless you want to add to your Marian Keyes library and don't read much!!

I'm a fan of Marian Keyes. I love her sense of humour and she is usually a good holiday read. However, this book is really a short story and not a great one at that. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Short but sweet
While this was a titchy book, I really enjoyed the story, it was similar to 'Anybody Out There'. Good, wouldn't have been able to eek that out over 500 pages anyway

1.0 out of 5 stars you can't call this a book
When I selected 4 Marian Keyes books for holiday reading, I did not expect one of them to be no more than a sample book. 64 pages does not constitute a book priced at £3.79. Read more

A nice short story - short being the main word. A very small book for the price - with large print. Took 10mins to read. Not worth the money
