Crash Landing,
This review is from: No Dress Rehearsal (Paperback)
I love, love, love Marian Keyes, have all her books and have read all of them at LEAST three times. When I saw this title I was thrilled to find a book of hers that I had not yet read. Imagine my chagrin when I got the package and saw what I had paid $12.00 for. It would have been nice if it was more apparent that this is more pamphlet than book. Buyer beware.

Kindle Readers Beware,
By Kari - Published on Amazon.com
This short story itself is very well written and enjoyable. I did not enjoy it as much as her other books but only because it is a short story rather than a novel and, therefore, lacks the character development I enjoy so much in her novels. However, I would NOT recommend this book to anybody reading it on the Kindle. The formatting is incredibly messy and hard to read. It appears as though headers and footers from the hard copy book such as "Marian Keyes" and "No Dress Rehearsal" are randomly placed throughout the text. Also, there are many places where 2-5 words are placed together without spaces. This makes the text still readable however I would have to stop reading and look at the text to figure out what the words were supposed to be. This made the entire reading experience significantly less enjoyable. It is a shame that the Kindle version is so sloppy because the actual story is very well written.

Keyes is funny and wonderful, but this was too short.,
By J. Marchese - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: No Dress Rehearsal (Paperback)
This was more of a long short story than even an novella. I liked it though. The main character, Lizzie, is killed in a biking accident, but doesn't know she's dead yet. Eventually she does figure it out (with the help of these angelic social workers of sorts) & is able to leave behind some messages about life to her loved ones. The characters would have been great in a regular-sized Keyes work, but in this short format they weren't given enough fleshing-out. But all in all, Keyes is always worth a read. She consistantly writes some of the most solidly entertaining women's lit out there.

By Erin - Published on Amazon.com
the plot of the book was unique, but i expected it to be much longer. i don't think it was 10 dollars worth of enjoyment.
