Summary: The best book I've read all year!!
Review: This will go down as one of my all time favorites. It was sad at times but I felt a real connection with all of the characters and was very sad to have it end. I went back and re read the last 20 pages just to be sure I had not missed anything. Another good book to read is Copper Beech by the same author.

Summary: Did not want this story to end
Review: This is my first Maeve Binchy novel and I truly enjoyed it! It's a real page turner with a well thought-out plot. Great summer reading! I would definetly recommend it to anyone who has visited Ireland, you will have an enhanced feel for the book. However, I'm sure it's still great if you haven't been there either.

Summary: Don't Complain.
Review: I'm only 14 and I enjoyed this book. Or some might think, maybe it's because I'm fourteen that I enjoyed this book. I read some reviews, and some people are complaining that this book doesn't sound realistic enough. If a person were to write a book about realistic everyday people without any sort of mystery you would complain about there being no plot. You have to love the book for the emotions, and the fact that she does use fairly realistic everyday people, with an entertaining twisting plot. I think I would have put it down if she didn't have the slightly questionable realisticness outcome and doings in the plot. But no, it's my favourite book, and all through the book I had the feeling of rush, the want to get through it to see how it all comes together. Once I was finished I wished there was more to read. It took me three days to read. I loved every minute of it, and do not consider those days wasted at all. Since this is the first of her books I have I read, I'm afraid I wouldn't enjoy any other ones by her, I loved this one so much. I would love to see how a movie turns out, although movies are never as good if you've read the book. This book has the entertaining enough plot to keep the veiwers attentive, and would be far better than some of the movies that are making all the money on the big screen. At least this one would have feeling.

Summary: Excellent.
Review: It was really good. I could hardly put it down. Some of her books I was quite disapointed in, but maybe it is because I read this one first. No book could be as good as this.

Summary: Wonderful story, wonderful writer!
Review: I loved this book! Although, the beginning was a bit slow, it DID pick up. It's beautifully written and the characters are realistic. You really feel for Lena and Kit and see how strong their bond is. In the end, Lena had to become the strong woman that she should've been in the first place - but like all of us, had to learn from her mistakes.

Summary: Wonderful, I couldn't turn it loose!
Review: This was the best book I have read since The Shell Seekers, by Rosamunde Pilcher. I cried off and on throughout this book. I love when I read a book and I am able to feel the emotions of the characters. This book showed how one's actions effects peoples' lives including the person who committed the action. I could totally relate to both Lena and Kim. This is the first book I have read by Maeve Binchy, but if this is any indication of what she has to offer, it won't be the last. Since reading this book, I have been searching for another book that will make me feel emotions like this one did. Any suggestions?

Summary: The worst book I have ever read.
Review: I really do not like giving this book even one star. I did not care at all for the subject matter, the author's writing style nor the length. The overall tone of the book was too depressing for me. I found nothing redeeming in this work and I am perplexed at how anyone can feel favorable toward it.

Summary: A Delight
Review: Like so many of the other reviewers, I felt sadness when I came to the final page of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and felt a kinship to both Lena and Kit. Binchy has such a talent for drawing you into her characters; you almost feel that you are in a personal relationship with these fictional people. This was my first Binchy novel; I'm going to read Circle of Friends next and am looking forward to another satisfying read.

Summary: Loose yourself in this book
Review: Maeve Binchy weaves magic every time she writes - the characters become friends, the Irish countryside becomes real. This is another wonderful story, which I have read over and over again, with an emotional ending that always reduces me to tears. I defy anyone to dislike this book!
