Book Reviews of Anybody Out There?

I can't express how much I loved this book!! I picked it up because I really enjoy Marian Keyes, especially her previous books about the kooky Walsh family, but this is no doubt the best! Anna's journey to discover herself and a new life after tragedy broke my heart. I literally laughed and cried at the same time :)

I read this book, initially unaware that there were other books about the Walsh's. No problem. I thought this stood on it's own two feet, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty sad, and I don't usually enjoy sad reads, but there was enough humor in it to add a nice balance.

A great story about female relationships...

Loved this! I was pleasantly surprised by it. A few plot twists turned an already entertaining story into something really heartfelt and exciting. I don't usually read this genre--it looks like the usual romance novel--but I'm glad I listened to the friend who lent it to me.

If you like books that make you feel like you are going through what the characters are this book is for you. The sister books are good but there was a sadness about this book that was touching yet it left me feeling empty. The interaction of the family is very funny though and that kept me coming back.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it got a little repetative in the middle but if you get through that you will love the surprise at the end.

Wonderful book!!!

I have loved this book every time I have read it. I need something to read now that I know I will like because I've had too many duds in a row, too much wasted time. I thought that by the third? fourth? time I've read something it wouldn't keep me so engrossed, but I can't wait to get done with my grad school work so I can pick it up and keep reading.

I think I love this book more each time I read it. I think it's the character's in the novel. Each one is so well developed that I can truly imagine them being real people. I'm a lover of stories with well-rounded characters, so Keyes' books are right up my alley. I've finally bought my own copy, so I'll no longer need to rely on its availabilty at the library.

It was fairly good with a lot of funny thigs that happen throughout the story...

awesome read

Very good book! You are led to believe one thing in the beginning of the book, but soon find out things aren't always what they seem. I was shocked about midway thru the book when certain things are revealed. I enjoyed it very much, although Rachel's Holiday is still my favorite Marain Keyes book.

This book had humor, sensitivity with some mystery wrapped around the story. It was a great read, hard to put down.

Novel about a woman coping with loss. This was a continuation of "Rachel's Holiday" but about one of the other sisters. Same characters/different emphasis.

I loved this book. The story was very sweet and funny. The mother is hysterical. She was my favorite character in the book.

good book

This was very good and keeps you involved with the Walsh sisters. It centers on Anna and her life following a horrible event. I really enjoyed it.

The best of all the books about the Walsh girls. I didn't think I would like Anna so much, she came off as such a flake in the earlier books. Very engaging story.

I VERY much enjoyed this book. Usually Marian Keyes is a fun chick-lit author that I use to "chase" heavier books but she REALLY wowed me with this one. I've always enjoyed following along with the adventures of the Walsh girls, but Anna's story is by far the best. Great GREAT book by Keyes.

Marian Keyes at her best. I have read and immensely enjoyed all her other books- lots of trauma and drama, that's for certain, but they are fantastic, can't - put- it- down reads. This is one of the better walsh sisters ones, fast-paced, engaging, really really charming.

I was really pleasantly surprised with this book. I couldn't stop reading it. Very good! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It reads quickly and keeps you guessing to the end.

I really enjoyed this book. Good summer read.

I loved this book! This author's books are great. I love the entire Walsh family.

Wow! I'm a Keyes fan, but this one is definately one of her best.
