Description In Favor Of Books Angels (Walsh Family #3)
Maggie has always been the white sheep of the Walsh family.Unlike her comically dysfunctional sisters,Rachel(heroine of Rachel's Holiday) and Claire (heroine of Watermelon), she married a decent man who adored her and found herself a solid career. Where Rachel was reckless and Claire dramatic, Maggie settled early for safety. Or so she believed until she discovers that her husband is having an affair and her boss is going to fire her. Suddenly, her perfectly organized life has become a perfect mess.Devastated, she decides the only thing to do is to run for the shelter of her best friend, Emily, who lives in Los Angeles. There, with the help of sunshine and long days at the beach, she will lick her wounds and decide where life will take her next.But from the moment she lands in the City of Angels, things are not quite what she expected. Overnight, she's mixing with movie stars,even pitching film scripts to studios.Most unexpectedly of all,she finds that just because her marriage is over,it doesn't mean her life is. In the end neither the City of Angels nor Maggie Walsh will ever be the same again.

Marian Keyes' style of writing needs getting used to. She writes in a very un-Sophie Kinsella way (which is what I'm used to). This is my first time to read a book by her and I'm impressed. She writes nonsense things with depths. I don't know if that makes any sense but I think, for this book, it does.Okay.Angels is the story of Margaret "Maggie" Walsh and her flight to Los Angeles after she found out about her husband Garv's affair with truffle woman. Maggie is probably one of my favoriteI hated this book so much words can barely describe it. I have always rated Marian Keyes books very highly in the past, and have loved other books in the Walsh family companion series, but I don't know if this book was an exception or if I read the others too long ago to really remember them.My main problem with this book was the plot, or lack thereof. It took me so long to finish this book and the main reason for this was that almost nothing happened plot-wise. In terms of story, it really
It took almost a year to read this one. The beginning is nice enough, and funny enough, but then gets dull really quick. From the moment Maggie arrives in LA the plot staggers. It's just much of the same for far too long. So I put it down. I picked it back up about a week ago, and sped through the middle bits until the book started to resemble more of what I love about Marian Keyes: humor and heart. As we learn more about Maggie and her history, it becomes easier to relate to her. And she's
Disappointing. I have loved other Keyes novels, but this one is SLOW. Nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens for FAR too long, mostly because the main character doesn't want anything, so she's not trying to do anything, so you get endless descriptions of her pointless days of hanging out. It's quite a long slog through the middle part. And Keyes seems to think Los Angeles "wackiness" makes up for all that, but it does NOT. At the end it gets pretty good, but I'm frankly surprised I
I consider Angels the best book Marian Keyes has ever written (although I havent yet read all her books). Maggie is clearly the most sympathetic of the Walsh-sisters. I also think that Angels deals with wider themes. Maggie's problem isnt really low self-esteem, like Claire's and Rachel's. Shes somehow a deeper character. I also liked the plot. In Angels Marian Keyes is more entertaining than ever. I really laughed, especially when Maggies family came to LA to visit her. The Walsh family seems
Not my favorite of Marian Keyes
And my love affair with Marian Keyes continues to thrive, in spite of my distaste for chick lit as a genre.This isn't the most thrilling or emotionally moving of her books - when you're writing about the serious, dull, well-behaved member of a family of genial cuckoos, it's hard to make the story stand out. But the book is still engaging, sweet, fun, and an easy read. Ultimately, it was the perfect palate cleanser between heavier, more oppressive literary fare. I probably won't go back to this
