apolasky 's review for:

Grown Ups by Marian Keyes
1.5
slow-paced

Well... Considering I thoroughly disliked and has to force myself to continue this book, and I keep reading lots of her fans hated it, I guess this wasn't the right entry to Marian Keyes.

It is unnecessarily long —mind you, I do love a nice bookish brick when the length is justified. So I started skipping chapters, which I never do, and yet I didn't miss a thing at all.

Apart from that, I also struggled to tell one family apart from the other, which didn't help in igniting even a mere spark of interest in the plot itself.

Will I try something else from her body of work? I doubt it, but I don't dismiss the possibility.
