Summary
Anna Walsh is officially a wreck. Physically broken and emotionally shattered, she lies on her parents' Dublin sofa with only one thing on her mind: getting back to New York. New York means her best friends, the most fabulous job in the world, and, above all, it means her husband, Aidan. But nothing in Anna's life is that simple. Not only is her return to Manhattan complicated by her physical and emotional scars, but also Aidan seems to have vanished. Is it time for Anna to move on?

Didn't know what I was letting myself in for
What a book! I can honestly say I have not enjoyed a book this much since I can't remember when. The book opens up with Anna Walsh, who is the main character of this book, recovering from some kind of episode, for want of a better word (I won't spoil this for you by telling you what kind of episode), in Ireland with her family. It is both sad and hilarious at the same time and every emotion you have ever felt comes spilling out with her in everything she does from work to play, from despair to acceptance from Ireland to New York. If you want a really good book that you will recommend to all your book-loving friends then this is the one for you. It has had me laughing until I thought my sides would split and tears of laughter were carousing down my face as well as crying soon after with tears of sadness spilling down my face. Just an amazing book and I loved every word, sentence and paragraph and couldn't wait to hear more and now I am really sad that I have finished reading it.

An absorbing read
I was not at all sure I would like this book. It is not my sort of book really, but I thought I would try it as I didn't want to get stuck in a rut.
Without going into any of the story- the other reviewers have done that well enough- I would just say that this is an absorbing book that never quite went where I expected. If Chick Lit is not your thing give it a go anyway- it draws you down to the deepest of human emotions and yet is not indulgent.

Sweet
True to form Marian Keyes provides yet another charming episode in the lives of the five Walsh sisters and their hilarious parents. Spread all over the world they all appear here to support their sister who is broken physically and emotionally. Entertaining and funny yet also touching and sad. This novel will have you wanting to learn more about the goings on of the Walsh family.

There certainly is something out there!
This book kept me gripped from beginning to end. Even though it split into three parts each part is perfectly crafted to draw you along. I was drawn into firstly how did she end up like that and then is there really anything out there. This book is very funny and everyone will think did she model Anna's mum on my mum - because i certainly did. It's a good, wholesome, funny read well worth the time.

Engaging
This was the first of Marian Key's books that I have listened to and I am not much of a chic lit reader so approached it with slight trediation. It was a really good listen. The reader has a pleasant voice though I recognised it from The Archers and that was a bit disconcerting to start with, the story is gently sad but engaging with well constructed characters. I'll try some more of her books.

Anybody out there?
For me,this book was rather spoilt by the heavy use of the F-word. Totally unnecessary, and believe it or not certainly not in common usage in my life. I have felt like wiping it off but will persevere to the end.

A great way to encourage sleep . . .
I'm afraid this is not to my taste. I have given up after repeatedly falling asleep waiting for something interesting to happen . . . The book is read well (from what I have heard) but is just not for me. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Anybody Out There?
Would you listen to Anybody Out There? again? Why?
Yes, probably - it's incredibly densely plotted and there's a great deal to be gained from a second or indeed a third listen.
What other book might you compare Anybody Out There? to, and why?
Marian Keyes' other Walsh sisters books.
Which character – as performed by Caroline Lennon – was your favourite?
Anna herself - beautifully performed and enunciated.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Well, the twist in the middle of the book. I've read this book at least twice in paperback and it was very sad in parts.
Any additional comments?
I think that it could have been edited a bit to remove some of the sub plots. It was incredibly long at times. Also, the email exchanges became a little weary - especially as the email addresses were read out, in whole, all of the time - zzzz.

Hard going
I love the other books in this series but this one didn't grab me. It took a long time to get going and then it seemed to drag again. I nearly gave up numerous times.

Good for laughs
I found the book dragged a bit at times but there were several laugh out loud moments that made up for it. I preferred Rachel's Holiday but still consider this a very good book.
I love the author's writing style.
