Advantages: well written book
Disadvantages: leaves you wanting more and more. when there isnt any :(
Maeve Binchy’s books and wonderful but this would have to be the best. it is a full-length novel - her short stories are wonderful too but they leave you wanting more! She makes you believe you're in Ireland and involves you in the lives of her characters to the extent that you are sorry to have the story end. Is is the type of story that is comforting and warm hearted. or the coast. Relationships with aquaintainces and friends and family are very important to maeve and it shows so in these books. circle of friends is also a very good book but this one tops the league. the characters in this book are believing and dont seem made up whenever you get into their lives. during sad parts in this book she looks upon the charcters with sympathy and compassion, her endings are satisfying. Read ’’Tara Road’’ and anything else by this wonderful writer. I look forward as always to her next and next!! Would you read it again?* Yes Story* Outstanding Characters* Satisfactory Readability* Once you start it, you won't be able to put it down How does it compare to similar works?* Excellent How does it compare to works by the same author?* Excellent Recommend to potential buyers: yes

- 29/08/03 Hi, and welcome to Dooyoo - I'm one of the guides here, for books and magazines, so I hope you can take the advice I'm about to offer the way it's intended.
First of all, I have been quite harsh with my rating. You've got the right basic idea with this review, but you really need to take more time and round things out a lot more. Read some other opinions from the site - there's a link on the front page to 'rewarded reviews', and these will show you some of the top quality stuff - the kind of thing that people look for on this site.
I see that people have already offered comments about posting so many reviews on one day. I remember when I started - it's great that you're enthusiastic, but it really is better to pace yourself. It might sound odd, but you will actually earn more points from one decent review in a week than several rushed out at once! There is an attitude here, that if people see your name in the top lists too much at once, they will assume the reviews aren't worth reading and not even click - just a point to keep in mind.
I'm honestly not trying to put you off at all! We really are a friendly bunch here, this is just advice to try and help you get the most out of the site. At the end of the day, you want to earn dooyoo miles, and the best way to do this is by writing well and getting your name 'out there' around the site - read, rate and comment on lots of ops!
Please don't be at all discouraged. You're on the right track with your reviews, just take a little bit more time over them and you'll be getting the highest ratings! Good luck, and most of all, enjoy being a member here :)
