The Other Side of the Story Audiobook

" Twenty-five pages into this one, I returned it to the library. Just couldn't get into it, the story of a girl whose Dad left her mom for a younger woman, and her life being put on hold while she tried to help her Mom cope. I would've liked to have known what finally happened, but was too bored along the way though it had its moments. "

" I have liked all of Marian's books so far,except for this. I found it hard to follow and the stories never kept my interest. "

" Easy Read and very fun! "

" This is an entirely enjoyable beach/vacation book and I would say even a slight cut above the rest of this genre. "

" It took me a while to get into this book but once I got used to the different characters it was a really great book to read. By the end of the book I found myself wanting to shout out to Jojo "No, don't go back to him." I felt like shaking Gemma and telling her to wake up and that she should move on and get on with her life and forget about Anton. I felt sorry for Lily who needed to stop being so soft and allowing herself to let Anton make decisions and just go along with it. I was so glad with the ending. Everything tied up very nicely and it was defintely a great read. This was only my second Marian Keyes book read but I will definitely be reading more of her books. "

" This book was typical chick-lit; easy and quick to read. There's nothing really memorable about it, but it was a fun read while it lasted. My only complaint is the Dad of one of the POV characters. I think his resolution was too easy. "

" loved it! typical keyes, all good, irish and laugh out loud funny!! "

" As a person with a degree in English, this is the kind of book I consider myself ~too good for~. It was a really fun read, though; weirdly addictive. Also I like books that take place in contemporary London, even if they are not especially good, because they make me remember things like Opal Fruits and Waterstones and the tube. "

" Marian Keyes does it again. "

" great fun, pure escapism, witty, sharp and well observed "

" This was a long book, over 600 pages, but very good. Once I figured out who everybody was, it was very entertaining! "

" I usually love Keyes' works, but this one was only mildly interesting. "

" Although it's a beach read (Fluffy and light), I learned alot about the world of book publishing. "

" This is my second favorite writer's-candy book, after Goldsmith's The Bestseller. Knocked back to four stars for a little dragginess in the runaway dad subplot. "

" Like reading four books in one as Keyes follows the lives of four women. These lives intertwine at various points and that is a fantastic plot. "

" Great summer or vacation read "

" Engaging, fun story "

" Such a clever book. There are three stories in the book and they all have a connection with each other in some way "

" I hate to write this but i must. I tried reading this book twice, and she totally loses me! when the story switches i just can't get into it. of couse keyes is witty and you feel like ur in ireland, but time is precious, so many books.... i quit ya again girl. about 12 chapters in. "

" One of the best "chick lit" I have read... "

" Hilarious writing! I picked this up while living in Ireland and it's kitchy and irish...great read "

" as usual I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A typical Keyes novel, love, life and irish humour. It is not a "can't put it down" 'er but is a steady enjoyable read that can be dipped in and out of. "

" Again, total chick-lit. Three entwined stories, sometimes bitterweet, sometimes outlandish, occasionally ridiculous, but entertaining. "

" I always enjoy Keyes' books. This was an entertaining quick read. "

" I think I'm taking Marian off my author list. This is the second one I read that I didn't like. This book was structured with three main characters and I only liked one of them. That made for a LONG read when I only looked forward to 1/3 of the book. "

" I really liked this book and want to see if any others by the author are any good. "

" A light and enjoyable read - easy to pick up and put down. "

" really well constructed, the stories link together perfectly and each character is as interesting as the next. "

" done in a clever format, these characters are some of my favorites, though the walsh sisters are the best "

" it is extraordinary but this book gave me a clearer idea of what the publishing industry would be like more than any other book! it was wonderful! "

" I really enjoyed this one :) "

" An ok book. Regular chick-lit only very (unnecessarily) lengthy. Got boring after a while and things moved fast only towards the end. "

" Really great book! I love the british humor...sort of reminded me of a Bridget Jones Diary book. "

" Pretty basic, mostly entertaining chick lit. I didn't mind the intertwined stories (there are three main characters), but the book was entirely too long. Each character had enough written about her to fill an entire book of her own. Seriously - this book has almost 600 pages! "

" I took a while to read it due to life pressures but in between I couldn't wait to get back to it. There weren't too many surprises but the way she handles the predictability is sweet and funny. "

" great fun, pure escapism, witty, sharp and well observed "

" I liked that the two sides of a situation was presented. It also had funny moments. It also gave me insights about book publishing life. :-) "
