A new Marian Keyes novel is always something to celebrate, and her sixth novel, Angels, will have you cheering. From the first couple of sentences: "I'd always lived a fairly blameless life. Up until the day I left my husband and ran away to Hollywood, I'd hardly ever put a foot wrong" to the hugely satisfying last page, you're immediately involved in the story of Maggie Walsh's life; of how it went wrong, and then went right again.

The Walshes starred in a previous Keyes novel, the delightful Rachel's Holiday; Maggie is Rachel's older sister, (one of five) and the only one who "never did any of that nasty sleeping around business". Instead she got married to her first boyfriend Paul Garvan and everything was fine, until they suffered a couple of "setbacks". Unable to face sorting out the difficulties, Maggie hightails it to Los Angeles to stay with her old pal Emily. Emily is a script writer, her short film A Perfect Day was a big hit in Ireland, but her working life is a little tougher in the land of sunshine and fat-free Pringles. The two girls, along with a supporting cast of wannabes, scary film studio folk and slacker next door neighbours, get on with sorting out their emotional issues in a stylishly witty, wonderfully warm fashion. Maggie's devilish ex-boyfriend and the commitment phobic Troy add in a delightful frisson of sexual tension.

Marian Keyes observations on the foibles of love and LA are laugh-out-loud funny, but there's a beguiling tenderness there too. By the time you reach the final full stop you'll be sighing with contentment, and just wishing that Marian would get a move on with the next book. --Eithne Farry --Ce texte provient d'une �dition qui n'est plus publi�e ou qui est non diponible.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Disappointing book from a great author, Juil 16 2004

Par Un client

This review is from: Angels (Paperback)

I absolutely love Marian Keyes' earlier books, my favourite of which is Rachel's Holiday. However, after Last Chance Saloon, I have found all of her subsequent books to be formulaic, predictable and quite simply disappointing. Angels is no different. The one and only reason I continued to read the book is because I have always found the adventures of the Walsh family (detailed in Watermelon and Rachel's Holiday) to be hilarious, and I hoped the book would pick up at some point. It didn't, and when it came to the point that Maggie has a same-sex experience simply "because", I thought enough.

Anyone who has not previously read Marian Keyes should NOT start here. Instead, pick up Watermelon, Rachel's Holiday, Last Chance Saloon or Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married.

This review is from: Angels (Paperback)

I just finished this book and enjoyed every page. It is funny yet touching at the same time. It is nice to see the "bad girl" side of a "good girl".

Par	Kelly Walsh (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Angels (Hardcover)

Angels is a great read! I loved Marian Keyes' other books and I wasn't disappointed with this one. After reading about Rachel (Rachel's Holiday) and Claire (Watermelon) Walsh we finally learn about the "lick-arse" sister Margaret who may not be quite the goody goody her family thinks. The setting leaves Ireland and gives some insight into life in L.A.and when her family arrives the humour really starts.
