I think I do afterwards, but while reading her books, I find them heavy and depressing. The Irishness is charming at times and annoying at others. it probably doesn't help that I know enough people who talk rural Irish. I did enjoy the storyline and the cast of characters felt real. As with her other book I read, the way the characters tie in together made the book for me. I really enjoyed this book and the characters. For a while in the late 90's I was obsessed with British Chick Lit. I actually ordered certain titles direct from Amazon.uk because I found I either couldn't get the titles in Canada/U.S. or I preferred the cover art. Marian Keyes is one of my favorites from my Chick Lit period, and Sushi for Beginners one of her best. The story examines the lives of three women, Lisa, Ashling and Clodagh. I found myself interested in the fate of Ashling most, but I tend to cheer for the underdog. I know that many a "serious reader" would turn up their nose at the amount of Chick Lit on my shelves but it served its purpose for a particular time in my life. I don't tend to read as many of these types of books these days but I do re-read them from time to time as they are a kind of comfort reading to me. The first ten pages are a little bit boring, but it gets better and more interesting. I found the characters cute and realistic, and I could relate to the whole magazine office thing, since I'm working at a newspaper and I know about the pressure. It's a long novel but it didn't seem long to me. A light, enjoyable read for a Sunday afternoon. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Lisa Edwards
This Prada-wearing magazine editor thinks her life is over when her "fabulous" new job turns out to be a deportation to Dublin to launch Colleen magazine. The only saving grace is that her friends aren't there to witness her downward spiral. Might her new boss, the disheveled and moody Jack Devine, save her from a fate worse than hell?
Ashling Kennedy
Ashling, Colleen's assistant editor, is an award-winning worrier, increasingly aware that something fundamental is missing from her life -- apart from a boyfriend and a waistline.
Clodagh "Princess" Kelly
Ashling's best friend, Clodagh, lives the domestic dream in a suburban castle. So why, lately, has she had the recurring urge to kiss a frog -- or sleep with a frog, if truth be told? As these three women search for love, success, and happiness, they will discover that if you let things simmer under the surface for too long, sooner or later they'll boil over.
Discover the Keyes to a Great Read!

Hovedtemaet i Sushi for nybegynnere er å finne lykken, hvor den enn måtte befinne seg. Det handler om å lete på steder en tidligere ikke ville trodd lykken fantes, og det handler om å ta sjanser man tidligere ikke ville våget å ta. Dessuten handler det også om å finne seg selv, og å tørre å vise hvem man egentlig er.
Nok en bachelorbok. Denne ligner så klart de andre bøkene til Marian Keyes, lettlest og underholdende. Men slutten tar en overraskende vending, så det er i alle fall ikke kjedelig. Likevel er det jo ikke i samme klasse om for eksempel John Irving, men boka er både morsom og underholdenede. Bra strandlektyre! (
