High heels, movie deals, wagon wheels, shoes, reviews, having the blues, builders, babies, families and other calamities.... Many think that Marian Keyes leads a glitzy life of limos, television, and showbiz parties - but she would argue that she spends the majority of her life writing alone, wearing her PJs, and eating bananas with a laptop on a pillow in front of her. Under the Duvet is a wide collection of her journalism and stories - all personal, closely observed, and painfully funny.©2001 Marian Keyes (P)2002 W F Howes Ltd Essays Literary History & Criticism Nonfiction Funny

I really wanted to like this book. Having read Marian Keyes' other works and enjoyed them, I expected the same. One disappointment was that this is an anthology of mostly previously published older works. The book was okay but not great.

If you're a fan of Marian Keyes you might enjoy this.

However, this is not her regular type novel, but rather a gathering of short stories of her life and thoughts.

I enjoyed it whilst stitching, but am afraid I would not have finished it if I wouldn't have something else to keep me busy with aside from listening.

Am a Huge Marian Keyes fan, sad to see that so many books have been removed for US readers.

Aside from the swallowing sounds not properly edited out I thought Marian did a good job narrating, it definitely made it more personal.

All and all I am glad I purchased the book.

Wonderful series of memoirs in an entertaining and touching collection. Marian Keyes always makes me laugh, reflect, and cry, all while inspiring me with her life tales. I have given her novels as gifts to all of the important women in my life. Keyes, herself, is a gift, and I wait with baited breath for her next novel. Thank you, Ms. Keyes!!!

Keyes is consistently fabulous!

What disappointed you about Under the Duvet?

She'd already used much of this material in her fiction, so though this was a collection of non-fiction articles, the jokes had already been told.

What was most disappointing about Marian Keyes’s story?

Reusing old material

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Nothing, she was very entertaining as she read her past articles. Her personal connection to the stories made her narration much more enjoyable.

What character would you cut from Under the Duvet?

Non-fiction, not applicable.

Any additional comments?

I liked the peek into Marian Keyes' actual life and had some fun making comparisons between her characters and her real life relations. But if you've read five or more of her books, you will recognize much of this material.

Entertaining, but also full of reruns
