From Publishers Weekly

Loyal friends Benny and Eve, young women who grew up together in an Irish village, find their relationship tested by the new friendships, romances and opportunities that develop at a Dublin university. According to PW , Binchy's characters have "a colorful way with words, and if the prose is sometimes careless, this is still Irish storytelling at its contemporary best."

From Library Journal

Best friends since childhood in a small Irish village, first-year college students Benny and Eve are thrilled by the excitement of university life in Dublin. Befriended by Nan, a beautiful classmate with secret ambitions, the three form the nucleus of an ever-widening circle of friends that provides them with a happy sense of belonging and introduces them to a world of carefree activity. However, this light-hearted existence is brought to an abrupt halt when Nan's selfish, callous plans backfire, victimizing Benny and creating within Eve an obsessive desire to avenge Benny. Binchy is a wonderful storyteller, drawing the reader into the hearts of her characters. This engrossing examination of friendship's vicissitudes moves forward effortlessly at a marvelous pace, carrying the reader along on tense, mounting waves of loyalty and deceit. Highly recommended for all popular fiction collections. BOMC alternate.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A nice change of pace, Avril 17 2003
Par Un client
Ce commentaire est de: Circle of Friends (School & Library Binding)
After reading three current best sellers - all overhyped garbage - this was a pleasant change of pace. Interesting characters that you care about, a good, solid story, and well-written. A bit long, I might have shaved it a little, but not a big issue. And my personal holy grail: no cuss words!!!!!

Nice read.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A good read, but..., Jui 10 2002
Par scorpio (South Korea) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: Circle of Friends (Mass Market Paperback)
I admit I really enjoyed this book and I definitely like Maeve Binchy's style of writing. But I could not help noticing that it was very much like "Tara Road", another of Maeve Binchy's great books. There is the plain, but nice girl who gets a man too good to be true, the "too-good-to-be-true" guy who starts out decently but ends up cheating on the nice plain girl, and then there is the smart, beautiful blond who is a friend of the nice girl and aspires to become great. In fact, Nan bore such a likeness to Rosemary in "Tara Road" in that she comes from a humble background but uses her good looks and seemingly effortless charm to make her way in the world, that they almost seemed like one person.
I plan to continue reading Maeve Binchy books, but I hope to see a little more creativity when conjuring up characters.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Good Book for a Rainy Day, Mai 13 2002
Par Un client
Ce commentaire est de: Circle of Friends (Mass Market Paperback)
I had heard a lot about this book and finally checked it out of my library for a rainy weekend.

I grew up at the same time as this story is set in, the 1950's, so a lot of it brought back memories. However, my small town in the Midwest wasn't quite so provincial as Knockglen. There were no Catholics and we didn't worry about class.

There were too many references to Benny's large frame. Once or twice would have been enough. I felt sorry for her as the over-protected only child of a very boring couple. Thank goodness she escaped to Dublin.

Simon was a real rat, but so I'm not surprised at the way he treated Nan. He obviously intended to marry money and she didn't have any.

I liked all of the different characters, except Sean. All types seemed to be there. Mother Francis was very kind to Eve and everyone.

I don't plan on seeing the movie after other reviewers have said what characters were left out and that the ending was different. I liked the way it ended.
