A book people can relate to August 17, 2008
I was sceptical about buying this after reading some negative reviews - but i loved it. Easy to dip in and out of, and alot of her tales people can laugh along with because it's happened to them. I was also very touched to learn about Marian's previous alcohol problems as i had no idea! Now i can see why she writes about it so well in her novels.
Anyway, goood book that i would recommend to fans of Marian Keyes.

Keyes at her very best - honest observations of life which kept me laughing - shame it wasn't six inches thick!

Under the Duvet is a collection of "things" (dont know what to call 'em) that marian Keyes has written for Irish newspapers/magazines. She writes about funny eisodes in her life and about her thoughts on current issues. U get a really good picture of what kind of person MK is. She is really much like many of her charcters. MK says that none of her characters are real persons, but made up by combining up to 100 persons MK har met or something. What is clear from Under the Duvet is that all MK's characters have something of MK herself in them. Also obviously she takes a lot of the stuff she writes about from her own life. So Under the Duvet is a really great book. It might be even more entertarining than MK's novells, because its definitely never boring. I coudnt stop readin g, cos it was so funny. I would indeed have liked to read more... What else I want to say about MK is that she is just so down to earth and great. And under humor there is something serious too.

This is more a collection of short stories that Marian has written for magazines and newspapers with some unpublished pieces as well. Her Irish humour had me in stitches and I think it helps to be Irish to understand it. My English sister-in-law didn't find it so amusing. I even found myself reading sections out to my husband, especially the story about football!

I have read all of Marian Keyes books and was very disappointed with this. It was almost a biography of sorts and not very interesting. Many of her other books are mentioned in this and they are all brilliant. This was not a good read
