It was a good, shallow beach read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quentins (Mass Market Paperback)
Award-winning literature. No.A good,light,fun beach read. yes! I found it hard to put the book down, even thought I was thoroughly irritated with Ella. I couldn't wait to see what other stupid ideas she'd come up with...... I am fan of Binchy now. This was the first book of hers I had read... I'm on to Tara Road next... http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org

A far cry from Binchy's best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quentins (Mass Market Paperback)
Maeve Binchy is capable of much better work. Quentins' plot is formulaic at best. The characters are shallow and poorly developed. I have read all of Binchy's books, and have been dismayed to see the downhill progression in the quality of her recent output. Both Quentins and Scarlet Feather have been entirely disappointing. Fans of her earlier novels such as Circle of Friends and The Glass Lake should not expect too much of Quentins. Buck up, Ms. Binchy, you can do better than this!

Not a bad read, but could've been better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quentins (Mass Market Paperback)
"Quentin" is written as several short stories embedded in the main story (of Ella). The short stories are warm, and quite sweet. Some people might think them a bit sappy, but I found them quite touching actually. However, the main plot is weak and has less substance than the short stories: Ella had everythinhg going her way until she met the wrong men and lost everything. I felt bad for her at first, but the longer she lingered on his memories holding onto his computer, the less I liked her. The ending felt rushed and irrational. I think "Quentin" would have been better as a collection of short stories about the people of the restaurant Quentin.
