4.0 out of 5 stars An easy, readable book, 5 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: London Transports (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great story-telling,Binchy repeats herself., 19 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: London Transports (Mass Market Paperback)
Characters are so real and credible,the story is so simple and engaging,yet I have the feeling I read it in another book...another Binchy story collection.Still despite repetitions,it's nice to re-read what you like.Great story-teller,keeps you turning the pages,yet I'd like her to reinvent herself with the addition of some new content,strikingly different.

This review is from: London Transports (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this collection. Each story draws you into a different world and the great thing about this book is that you can pick it up and leave it down as you please, and then go back and reread your favourite pieces!

4.0 out of 5 stars Go at your own pace.
Even those of us who love to get lost in a good, long read, often appreciate the short story as a change of pace. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking
I found each story made me think. Each of the short 22 chapters deals with issues that aren't easy to resolve, so Maeve leaves you to solve it in your own mind. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Skip this one. Not up to par with MB's other books
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. Read more
