5.0 out of 5 stars Her best book so far!, 20 Jul 2004
By M. A. Dunnington (Stourbridge, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Woman on the Bus (Paperback)
This is the book Pauline McLynn was meant to write. Her best work so far. Full of real characters, real emotions. Beautifully written, just the right pace to make you feel as if you belong in the village with all these rich, but quite "normal" characters. She is a great writer.....but more like this please....there is a depth and quality to this book that makes it the find of 2004!

3.0 out of 5 stars Small Town Life with Big City Problems, 9 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Woman on the Bus (Hardcover)
Centered largely around the local pub Finns and the comings and goings of its array of customers in a small town in County Clare. The Woman on the Bus will make you laugh out loud. Deirdre who works in the chemist should be named a National Treasure. Its characters are rich and earthy and each has their own history and current life changing events unfolding. These are artfully interwoven around the Woman on the Bus telling her reluctant story of how she has ended up in this one horse town and why she may consider staying.The author writes of Alcoholism & Breavement with great sensitivity and humour , that can't fail to touch even the most hardend of hearts. All this being watched by a concerned bored local citizen or a potential peeping tom, who is behind those binoculars?

5.0 out of 5 stars A joy from start to finish , 13 May 2007
By Conchie (Dublin, Ireland.) - See all my reviews
I decided with enthusiasm to delve into this book after thoroughly enjoying SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND, a laugh out loud work by Pauline Mc Lynn. I flicked open the first pages while embarking on a train journey, and found myself being furtively glanced at as I could not restrain the open giggles. This is a wonderful book, with clever believable characters representative of many a rural town. There are very few secrets in towns like this, where everyone knows everyone else's business. Thus when the mysterious WOMAN in question gets off the bus in Kilbrody and drinks herself senseless in Finn's Pub, she attracts great curiosity from the locals eager to solve the mystery of who exactly this woman is. Bereavement, alcoholism and love are the main subjects beautifully woven together throughout these pages with such care and compassion, I simply didn't want it to end. And as ever the razor sharp humour of Pauline Mc Lynn...so evident in every page, its hard not to burst out loud laughing - the incident in the local Chemist when the big lumbering local fellow looking quizzically at the pack of batteries in his hand and tries to explain to the girl behind the counter that its DUREX he wants, not DURACELL, not to mention the other delight in the chemist with the Preparation H ointment for piles !! One of Pauline's best to date !

The Woman on the Bus was an unexpeced pleasure. It's one of those rare books that can carry off more serious themes, while still being very, very funny. Read more
