Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for the author: "When it comes to writing page-turners that put a smile on your face and make you think, Keyes is in a class of her own." ( Daily Express)

Loved It

I can only compare to other Marian Keyes books. I have enjoyed listening to all of them.

Have you listened to any of Aoife McMahon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Have not listened to any of her narrations,

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a lot.

Not Her best

I generally love Marian Keyes but this was a bit disappointing. It was slow and predictable and had a few plot holes.

Loved every minute of it

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Funny and engaging, I didn't want to put it down. There are layers of funniness in this book.

Stella a bit irritating

I enjoyed the beginning and the endinf but the middle dragged on. Felt the heroine was without a backbone.

Some amusing parts redeemed the book.

Enjoyable book

Really enjoyed the book and the narration. Good storyline and the narrator did the voices really well. Highly recommend it.

Love it. Classic Marian ☺️

Another fantastic story full of loveable characters and humour. A fun listen and a definite hit for Marian devotees and those just discovering her greatness!!

it was ok...

I loved the first half of this book and thought i made a great choice. It was funny and engaging, and it had depth. But as the story progressed it seemed to get more shallow and predictable. It was very well read throughout.
I am not sure if I would try another one of Marian Keyes- maybe.

OK but not raving about it!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, always love Marian Keyes books, but this is not one of her best I don't think.

Would you recommend The Woman Who Stole My Life to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend it as it is fine...just not fabulous.

What about Aoife McMahon’s performance did you like?

She commanded all the voices very well. Even the male voices were believable.

Could you see The Woman Who Stole My Life being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No, you would make another Marian book into a movie instead...This Charming Man for instance...that would be a great film!

Any additional comments?

Not a waste of time by any means, just a bit lacklustre.

A lovely escape

A gentle, fun fiction story. Really liked the narrator and her ability to capture the personality and voices of the characters. Well crafted escapism ... really enjoyed it. Well worth a listen!

This was a great book. It was wonderful to listen a Marian Keyes book again, it has been ages. The narration was excellent, I have listened to her a few times now and always enjoy her.
The story had me hooked from the beginning and I enjoyed every minute of it.
