Last Chance Saloon, I feel in my opinion, was one of the best books ever.. I couldn't put it down. This story about finding new relationships and trusting them, leaving old relationships and moving, dealing with a friend with cancer was just intruiging. It really taught the reader to live every day to the fullest.. and not to be afraid to ...

Having read 'Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married', and 'Sushi For Beginners', I was beginning to wonder just what the fuss about Marian Keyes was. I kept plodding through though as my mother keeps buying them for me because she heard that a second cousin of a friend of a friend liked them or something, and so she bought four of them. ...

To me, Marian Keyes is ‘the’ stalwart lassie of British/Irish female fiction. She is no Victor Hugo (but who is?), but she has churned out some classics of her own genre. In terms of Last Chance Saloon, I'd like to say some very nice things about this book. I mean, I like Marian Keyes immensely. She is a warm, funny and ...

I am fastly becoming a HUGE Marian Keyes lover. I started out with "Watermelon" and found it ok, but since then, I have craved more and more of her work. I have gone back over all of her work and find more and more brillance each time. And, with "Last Chance Saloon", I am blissfully happy. I love this book! I mean, LOVE it. I ...

This was my first Marian Keyes book bought hurriedly at Heathrow Aiport for reading on the plane. I never got to read it then but I stayed in the hotel one night and started to read it..... 6 hours later I was closing the book with a huge grin on my face. Last Chance Saloon is a tale of three 30 something freinds - Tara a bubbly girl, desperate ...

This was my first Marian Keyes book and it won't be my last. I was very impressed by the easy going style of writing and the way that several stories were intertwined only coming together near the end of the book. The book is basically about a group of people who have been friends since childhood and their lives as they approach 30. All ...

Yes, it is a more serious read - but the familar Keyes humour is still there! If you are expecting something very similar to Watermelon and Lucy Sullivan..., you may be disappointed - but I felt that this was a wonderful book - so much so that I read it again as soon as I had finished it for the first time. Don't get me wrong - I loved her ...

Compared to her other books, Last Chance Saloon is much more serious, much less predictable and much more off the wall. It's a very different book but I enjoyed it just as much. It didn't make me laugh out loud, but it did make me cry. Touching on a serious subject this book can be quite thought-provoking. There are some ...

Having read Lucy Sullivan is getting married, and also Rachel's Holiday, I was delighted to see Last Chance Saloon on the shelf of my supermarket. However, I have to say that I am not finding it as addictive as the other two books. It seems to be lacking something that made the other books compelling reading. I couldn't put the ...

'Last Chance Saloon' accompanied me on holiday recently having seen in my local bookshop as part of a 3 for 2 offer as I searched for light holiday reads. I had never read or even heard of Marian Keyes and I have to say I was very very pleasantly surprised by what I found. Her sense is humour is distinctly Irish and had me giggling my ...

I had never picked up one of Marian Keyes books before but I did not stop until I had read the lot. Last Chance Saloon is one of the most witty intelligent truthful and compelling reads in a long time. Three very different people and bad choices in clothes cars men especially men takes us on a journey of life. Their lives are changed in ...
