Rating: - A wonderful read
As with all of Catherine Alliott's work,this is a wonderful story.We laugh and gasp and feel anger and great sympathy for Imogen.What a terribly human character she is.Life throws her some very curved balls, and she manages to rise above these situations and keep her dignity,well, almost.
I gave my daughter this book, and she found it a wonderful read. She really needed cheering up, as she has just had a hurricane and flood rush through her home in Galveston Texas. This book had her laughing ... Read More

Rating: - What A Treat!
I was given the earlier Alliott books by a friend who raved about them. Unfortunately I didn't feel the same. I found her earlier characters either morons or really irritating however, what an absolute delight A Crowded Marriage is. I loved every one of the characters, I loved the setting of the country village, I loved the whole working of the book. I'm rather difficult to please when it comes to humour in books but I have to say this really made me laugh out loud many, many times. I smiled through ... Read More

Rating: - At last Alliott returns to form
As I re-read "The Old Girl Network" and "Going Too Far" every year or so, I have persevered with Catherine Alliott's subsequent offerings, only to finish them feeling a little cheated. However, with "A Crowded Marriage", she is definitely returning to the feel-good factor so apparent in her earlier work. There are some good characterisations, a number of laugh-out-loud moments, and yes, as with all chick-lit, Imogen, (the main character), gets her happy ending, which you can't really deny her. This ... Read More

Rating: - Easy read
An easy read, enjoyable but as with other Alliot books I have read continuity leaves a bit to be desired! We had one occasion where a child was starting school the "next", hubby not at work that day which resulted in a row. Next thing we are starting school but there is reference to hubby having had a 2 hour commute from work to get home the previous day! More care perhaps by both author and publisher. As I said not the first time this sort of thing has happened. However, I am reading this type of book ... Read More

Rating: - Disappointing - a writer on auto-pilot
I was really looking forward to this book as I have enjoyed all the other books by Catherine Alliot that I have read. With this one, I had the impression that she was writing on auto-pilot and has started to take her readers for granted. There were too many editorial slip-ups as well - in one scene Imogen is loading the dishwasher, but about 50 pages later we're told the kitchen is too small for a dishwasher.
All in all, very disappointing. The plotting was far too contrived - even for chick lit ... Read More
