Well, each to their own, I guess - but I can't understand the Keyes 'fans' who have slated her latest work.
As for the readers/reviewers who didn't like the diary writing style for Lola's storyline....pleeease! What is there not to like? :-) This inclusion was original, brave, refreshing, funny and intelligent.
If you're considering buying 'This Charming Man', then really - don't hestitate. Buy it and prepare for a very enjoyable and, in places, very moving experience.
Other so called 'chick lit' writers don't come close to Keyes, she delivers every time. In my opinion, she is the Queen of Chick Lit, and long may she reign.
this book should come with a health warning ............... August 23, 2008

because its completely addictive! I loved all of it , every page, esp. as am very difficult to please! I loved all the parts, esp as it was a real eye-opener and highly educational. Only bit hated..............finishing it..............feel like I am having withdrawal or something......I can't understand any of the bad reviews, the book got me in from start to finish. Lola my fave, but also Grace and Marnie! I can't say anymore will ruin the book for others, but the ppl writing bad reviews must have read a different book or not given the book a fair chance. I couldn't sleep I just HAD to finish it!! highly recommded and refreshingly honest........I think this one is her best yet!!!

My first foray into Marian Keyes and I really enjoyed it. 4 quite different women and their connection to one 'charming' man and how their lives have been influenced - sometimes quite disasterously - by the connection. Not what I was expecting from chick lit ie quite hard hitting in places, plot not comletely predicatable, created a lot of empathy for the characters. I agree with others that the voice of Lola got on my nerves a bit - not really sure what she was trying to achieve here but this didn't really detract from the enjoyment as the story was gripping enough to keep me reading for longs stretches and so I got into the swing of 'Lola speak'. Would recommend for a beach read.
