I love Marian's books about the Walsh sisters and have been told she is writing another one about Anna, which I am looking forward to. This book is (as with the other's about the Walsh sisters) a mix of the normality of life and the crises we face and the hilarious scrapes those sisters get in to. Neither Watermelon nor Angels were as good as Rachels holiday which was funny and moving but still this book is funny, touching and extremely well written. Can't wait for the next book.


Marian Keyes at her very best   May 6, 2005

I concider Angels the best book Marian Keyes has ever written (although I havent yet read all her books). Maggie is clearly the most symhatetic of the Walsh-sisters. I also think that Angels deals with wider themes. Maggie's problem isnt really low selfexteem, like Claire's and Rachel's. Shes somehow a deaper character. I also liked the plot. In Angels Marian Keyes is more entertraininbg than ever. I really laughed, especially when Maggies family came to LA to visite her. The Walsh family seems to be an Irish version of Bridget Jones' family. Marian howver makes her chacters more realistic and nicer than Helen fielding. Angels was also a real pageturner like no other book I have read for a while has been. I compeletely loved it. It captured me. Marian Keyes has a great way of relieving the background of events little by little. First it seemed like in the book Maggie's and Garv's marridge brokdown because they were simply tired of each other or something as shallow, but during the book it turned out there was a lot more to it. Really great! I really felt like I was Maggie when I was reading the book.


Really good   February 8, 2005

This books tells the story of Maggie, who splits up with her husband and decideds to run away to Hollywood.
Although it is a bit predictable, it is a great book, and there are some good moments, such as Maggie's fling with a woman and her family coming to stay.
This definitly lives up to the standard of Marian Keyes' other novels, although Rachel's Holiday is still my favourite.
Definitly worth reading.

I bought this book of the market for 2 and had never heard of Marian before hand. After reading it I'm convinced it's worth at least ten times the amount I paid. Since then I've bought all her other masterpeices and read them time and time again. Angels is definately my favourite with its tale of living in America, getting used to the up-front men, dealing with unpredictable hairdresses just hours before a date and the horror of being the whitest person in the beach with more cellulite than the rest there put together. You'll laugh, cry and maybe even find yourself developing little crushes on the characters (but you don't have to tell any one that).
