Pros: great characters, good pacing, real-life plot twists Cons: none
When I forgot my usual reading material one weekend, I walked into a local bookstore. Perusing the selections, I chose Maeve Binchy’s Circle of Friends due of my great fondness for the film of the same name based on the novel. The ...
Pros: The characters are incredibly real Cons: Some people might consider it slow-moving because it is more about relationships than action
This past summer I was so fed up with reading novels that either depressed me (Colony) or bored me (At Home in Mitford) that I decided perhaps the best use of my time was to re-read something I already knew I loved. I read Circle of Friends for the...
I love any and all books by Irish novelist Maeve Binchy, but Circle of Friends is in my opinion, the best of all her works. Evidently, someone else thought so, too, because it was made into an equally awesome film.
Pros: Wonderfully told story, beautifully described settings Cons: Can't think of one!
I love all of Maeve Binchy's books, and indeed, most book about Ireland and by Irish authors. One of the best I have ever read is 'Circle of Friends' (and the movie is great too!).

Pros: Character development, beautifully written Cons: It ended!

tribulations the author craftfully weaves. A must read as a classic
of our time. Although...
Pros: characters, setting, plot Cons: nothing with the book

Pros: Loved this book, interesting and well written. Cons: None
I wasnt so sure about this book when I first picked it up, but not 2 pages into it, I was hooked. The characters were written so brilliantly and the story line was excellent. I couldnt put the book down!! Im afraid to see the movie for fear that it...
