Book Reviews of Circle of Friends
Book Review: A heart warming tale of university, friends and life!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a page turner, start to finish. I was a little hesitant when my sister thrust it into my hand, but the story took me away to small town Ireland, and before I knew it, I had gone through heartbreak, experience, and growing up with main character Benny and her friends. Benny, a chubby warm and friendly girl is so real that you sympathize with and understand her perfectly. The book follows her life, from elementary school down the road, to university in Dublin. Binchy develops the characters extremely well, to the point where you feel a part of the string of young people who go to dances and classes. The romance aspect of the book is wonderful: It`s the idea of the ugly duckling (Benny) who`s noticed by the handsome prince charming (Jack) and is carried away by his true love for her. But there is a bittersweet edge to the romance, and it illustrates perfectly how we all learn from our mistakes, whether they be in love or friendship. As you can prob! ably tell, I adored this book- and highly recommend it to anyone, young and old. Reading it after my first year of university made me realize the meaning behind having a "circle of friends" and all that goes along with it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!Book Review: A most lovely book about life, love and betrayal.

Circle of Friends is a book that keeps you turning
the pages from beginning to end. There is always
something there that keeps you reading. The book
is about friendship, love, life, and growing up
through the eyes of young girl who tries to see
the good in everyone. The story is set in the mid
1900s at a little town in Ireland. It's written
in such a way that you never really know what is
going to happen, and just when you think you do,
it changes and the book goes on. It all ties
together at the end to make a finale to an
enjoyable reading experience, with a unexpected
ending that leaves you wanting for more.
