London Transports

Rating:
Summary: An easy, readable book
Review: Maeve Binchy is, by far, my favorite author and I find it difficult to criticize anything she writes. London Transports was definitely a readable collection of short stories, although it wasn't her best. She repeats herself in one story...it shows up later in The Return Journey. On the plus side, however, some of the stories deal with topics not presented in her other books. They shine with Binchy's wit and style that I always enjoy in all her books, and I never thought once about stopping. If you are a die-hard Binchy fan who has made it your goal to read all her works (like me), go ahead and read this book. It's worth it.

Summary: A Little Disappointing
Review: This book is disappointing in that it is a collection of short stories instead of Binchy's classic epics. Just as the reader gets involved in the character or plot the story ends and proceeds to the next one. Binchy's books that stick with one grand story is definately better.

Summary: Skip this one. Not up to par with MB's other books
Review: This book was chock full of short stories. One chapter each. MB's meticulous writing style and strength of character development are what make her books wonderful. Chapter long stories just aren't her showcase. Even if you've read every book she's written but this one, don't do it. You'll be disappointed
