 Riveting! September 3, 2008

'This Charming Man' is Marion's best so far. It is truly moving, horrifying, funny, sad and exciting. The tale of a psychopath and the women who fell for him. I particularly liked Lola but the other women were also engaging and likable. A page turner form start to finish. Not a light read or even 'chic-lit' but an excellent contemporary novel with a very serious undertone.
 Ok but not her best August 31, 2008

I love Marian Keyes so when this come out i rushed out to get it.But i have to say i didn't enjoy it as much as i have all her others i didn't really warm to any of the characters at all and i found it lacked that Marian spark.Being in a violent relationship myself for three years i thought i'd really relate to the characters in this book but i just didn't warm to them at all.Ok but not her best.

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.
 What a shame August 24, 2008

I have a theory.....an auther comes up with a brilliant idea for a book but is then told it has to be X thousand words long so pads it out with fluff in oder to deliver.
Could that be the reason behind the huge disappointment of this latest offering from Ms Keys?
In short this book would have skipped along merrily written from the viewpoint of Lola, a wonderfull character, with all of the others coming in to create the theme of the book. The idea was great,the ending was a treat but why oh why did we have to endure the endless ramblings of the other women ?!What a shame.
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!!!
