“I enjoyed it, it was easy to read, sad at parts and funny at others. I love the style of Keyes books, always page turners”

I'm not Irish, so it's rather interesting to get get a glimpse of reality of this country from a novel, avoinding the stereotypical version of Irish people.”

“I have to admit that I was a tad taken aback over 'This Charming Man'. It wasn't Marian's usual light and airy novel with her humour woven in and out throughout the novel. However, having said that, the characters were well-drawn, and I especially liked Aunt Bid. Actually, I LOVED Aunt Bid!

I would provide a 'warning' for women currently dealing with alcoholism and/or domestic abuse issues because you might find this particular Keyes book just a little too much for you to handle right now.
All in all, I'm very happy I read it but do prefer Marian's more light-hearted-make-me-laugh-out-loud novels.

“It was very hard rating this, seeing as I hated a lot of it and really liked some. Loved Lola after getting used to the quirky narrative, Tranny parties especially. Marnie made me want to poke my eyes out.”

“One of Ms Keyes better ones - I loved the interwoven lives of the characters and the crazy turns the story took; in particular when Lola unwittingly becomes hostess to a local group of cross-dressers... I loved the way the font changed with different aspects of the story and laughed out loud all the time. I really couldn't put it down. It should be 4 1/2 stars really.”

Yes | No“This book actually surprised me because I expected it to be light beach reading and it addresses the issue of spousal abuse and alcoholism. The author does a good job of showing the points of view of the different characters and how life events change them.”
