This Charming Man has to be a classic Marian Keyes title - it has everything that you would expect - moments of heartbreak, daft but loveable characters and you feel genuine warmth and affection for her main characters. This book, I believe is not as entertaining as her previous titles but the subject matter is much more important and is written with real respect and thorough research. I enjoyed it immensly. Having said that though I do feel that at times the book was overly long and certain chapters could have been edited without the real thrust of the story being lost. However that could be just be me being nit-picky - Marian Keyes, in my humble opinion is still way in front of any other women writers in terms of storytelling and humour.
