Nattens regn og stjerner by Maeve Binchy

keepcalmandcurl86's review against another edition

5.0

I absolutely loved this book. It was the first one of Maeve Binchy's that I read, and it was really good. I loved how the characters were so realistic and well-personalized. Her writing style was light, with a good amount of description (not too much, which is what I was expecting). I loved how the plotlines developed and entertwined. I also loved that there were four Nationalities being discussed (it really added to the characters). Obviously the happy endings made me pleased too. A very nice read, and a good way to end the book club year!

1.5 estrellas.
No es el tipo de historias que me gustan. Lo he leído porque lo tenía en mi TBR desde hacía nada más y nada menos que 10 años. No me gusta comprar libros y no leerlos jamás, así que he hecho el esfuerzo.
Lo dicho, me parece una historia inverosímil. Forzada. Personajes muy planos, niños que parecen adultos. Saltos de historias continuos.
No se, es una historia muy sencilla y predecible, que acaba bien para todos, muy happy.
No es de mi estilo. No leeré más de la autora.

Aika valmiiksi pureskeltu mutta sympaattinen tarina neljästä lomailijasta, joiden elämät muuttuvat Kreikassa.

I picked up this book from the thrift store because I kept seeing this author and decided to pick up a book. I didn't know what to expect so I went in without any preconceived notions. I enjoyed the story and the writing wasn't bad either. I think of you would like a nice read, you can pick this one up and be satisfied.

I read this for a challenge and really enjoyed it. The characters were all likeable except for Shane. I really felt like I was right there with everyone I was reading about!

Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy was for just another book. I was brought in by her setting, loving every moment of the Greek setting but I have to say that her characters at times fell flat and her plot was just a bit too predictable and nicely wrapped up. A quick and easy read but honestly, I had to read the summary to remember what this book was all about. Very forgettable.
