Where do I start? - By: Zara, 12 Sep 2008 
I have read this collection of short works by Marian Keyes so many times that I've lost count now. It's a great little book to keep by the bed so you can read a couple of pieces without wondering what's going to happen next, unlike most Keyes books which I find almost impossible to put down. Her writing is just so funny & observant. A lot of the pieces of journalism had already been published although I hadn't read them before, but some new ones were penned especially for this collection. I particularly liked Fear & Loathingin Los Angeles - a hilarious ancedote of Marian's trip to LA LA land. It had mein fits of laughter. Another winner!
A book people can relate to - By: Mrs. Jane P. Mason, 17 Aug 2008 
I was sceptical about buying this after reading some negative reviews - but i loved it. Easy to dipin & out of, & 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 wellin her novels.
Anyway, goood book that i would recommend to fans of Marian Keyes.
Funny and Honest as usual - By: B. J. Pettiford, 15 Nov 2006 Keyes at her very best - honest observations of life which kept me laughing - shame it wasn't six inches thick!
Funny and chatty - By: Faith, 21 Aug 2005 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 eisodesin her life & 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 herselfin 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 & great. And under humor there is something serious too.
Great Irish Comedy - By: , 06 Sep 2004 This is more a collection of short stories that Marian has written for magazines & newspapers with some unpublished pieces as well. Her Irish humour had mein stitches & 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!
