More About This Book

Overview

A wry and life-affirming tale-and the Irish literary star's latest New York Times bestseller.

Marian Keyes's inimitable blend of rollicking humor, effervescent prose, and captivating stories that deal with real-life issues have won readers around the globe. Reminiscent of the blockbuster movie Love, Actually, her new novel The Brightest Star in the Sky, features seven neighbors whose lives become entangled when a sassy and prescient spirit descends on 66 Star Street to radically transform at least one person's life in the Dublin town house. With the comic appeal of Nick Hornby's novels and delicious drama akin to Jane Green, The Brightest Star in the Sky will keep readers guessing, laughing, gasping, and in tears until the very last page.

    I recommend!

    A mysterious presence watches the cast of interesting characters who live in an apartment building in Dublin over the course of sixty one days. This lengthy book starts a delightful read about entangled relationships and changing lives. The spirit's narration is really enjoyable and adds a touch of humorous snarkiness. But the spirit keeps referring to a big change coming to one of the residents, providing an ominous foreshadowing that keeps the reader glued to the pages. And as it goes deeper into their memories and more is revealed about the character's lives, the reader becomes aware that the presence is waiting for something. This spirit has the ability to change at least one of their lives. I'm not really into fantasy, but it didn't take long to get me sucked in and stuck! I recommend!

    Life is an amazing journey when written through the eyes of Marian Keyes! Captures you from page 1 to the very end...you don't want to put it down!!

    Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. I stayed up late night after night, took it where ever I went, just to get more reading done. It grabs your interest from page 1 and you get so involved with the characters and the direction of the plot, you have to know what happens next. A must read by one of my favorite authors. So human, so relatable, so interesting. Life is an amazing journey when written through the eyes of Marian Keyes!

    Absolutely hilarious!

    OMG there is actually another person on the planet who shares my very own twisted, bizarre sense of humor. If you are easily offended you might want to pass on this. I shared the trials and tribulations of the character who had a parent suffering from Alzheimer's disease. You may think there is nothing funny about it. However, people who have this illness do things that are incredibly funny. It is that very thing that saves the sanity of those of us who care for them. I too had siblings who refused to help. That is too bad because they missed all the fun my parent and I had during his last two years of life. I laughed at this book until I cried. I highly recommend it!

    Loved It!

    If you like any of her books, you will like this book. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good entertaining book to read. Her characters are always warm and funny and I haven't read a bad one yet. My favorite was Rachel's Holiday.

    A GOOD READ!!

    "The Brightest Star in the Sky" is about a group of neighbors who share a building. The story is about the way these strangers become connected by a series of events.

    The author has a wonderful way of revealing her characters slowly. Although there is a good deal of heartbreak in the book the reader feels empathy and affection for most of the people who are lovable and quirky.

    A good read!

    The Marian Keyes that you know and love...

    I'm a huge fan of Marian Keyes and having just bought a Nook, I was excited that it coincided with the U.S. publication of her most recent book so that my first e-book purchase would be for a new book by an author that I love. I enjoy almost all of her books, but this is one of her best yet. I loved all of the characters, but particularly Lydia. She was funny, but real. The great thing about Keyes' books is that they are hilariously funny but meaningful at the same time. Can't wait for the next one! If you haven't read anything by her yet and you like this book, try Rachel's Holiday, Watermelon or Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married.

    FABULOUS story!!

    I couldn't wait for The Brightest Star in the Sky to be released here in the states so I ordered it a few months ago from the UK. I am glad I paid the super high shipping, it was well worth it!! I love Marian Keyes so I was expecting the best and I wasn't disappointed! LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this book, it was a fun and entertaining read. I would highly reccommend it!!

    Recommended for Keyes' Fans

    The Brightest Star is another satisfying escape from Keyes. Star is populated by a quirky array of neighbors. Their lives begin to intermingle bringing changes to each. This offering from Keyes doesn't have as much of the Irish flair as other Keyes novels. It didn't makeme want to jump on a plane to Dublin. But I get invested in the lives of the characters, even those who turned out to be less likeable.
    If you have read other Keyes' novels, and you enjoyed them, I would recommend The Brightest Star.

    Great book!

    I love Marian Keyes and I was really excited to see this book listed. I had never heard of it before. It was a great book and I couldn't put it down. At first it was a bit hard to get into due to some confusion, but then as I went along it turned out great! I highly recommend this one!

    Am I the only one who is disappointed?

    Everybody here seems to love this book but I am 1/4 in and still waiting for something besides cuteness to happen. I will go a little longer since everybody seems to love this so much but I just think it drags on with too much with absolutely nothing happening or any depth to anyone's relationship (at least so far)
