Evening Class (Abridged) Audiobook

" Another sweet read. "

" Just kind of boring, and didn't really care what happened to the characters. "

" Evening Class was my first Maeve Binchy book. I'd just returned from Italy and was very interested in all things Italian. I found this book, somewhat by accident, at the library. Wow, what exceptional character development. She has become one of my two favorite authors and I've read almost everything she's written. "

" First book I've read by her. I enjoyed it and will read another by her. "

" This was fun in that it was about a group of people taking an evening Italian class, but otherwise the writing was pretty poor. "

" I love Maeve Binchy and Ireland! "

" I plodded through this book, hoping I'd start liking the characters, but never did. I thought the idea of the book was great, but did not care for the people in it. "

" Love the intersection of so many stories of people so unlikely to become close friends. But isn't that the way life works! so many connections, so many surprises "

" Written very simply and focused on each of the characters in turn, while not earthshaking, the plot is pleasantly intertwined and realistic enough. Good to help the brain relax. A really good example of the 'comfort read' genre. "

" OK story about an Irish lady living in a small Italian town and is the mistress to the man across the street. She returns to Ireland and teaches Italian having immeasurable impact on many lives. Strongly evokes a sense of place. "

" loved the first half of the book and then it became more or less ordinary. "

" A little bit of mystery and a little bit of suspense. Season it with love and every day lives and you have book to curl up with. "

" My favorite Maeve so far... "

" you can read my thoughts here. "

" Just a great feel good book. "

" it was a nice diversion.... "

" I love anything by Maeve Binchy and although it wasn't as good as my favorites (4 star Copper Beech and Tara Road), it was still wonderful. Binchy has such a way with characters; they always just draw you into their lives, as if they were next-door neighbors. "

" I've read this book about 3 times. Just finished it again this weekend - it was by inbetween books book. "

" I liked this book as much as I liked her others. She has a way of writing that I can relate to. I think you can always find yourself in one of her characters. "

" This is a quick read for entertainment. The author weaves the lives of several characters. Overall interesting but not unbelievable. "

" For some reason this book seemed dull, like boring "

" Loved it. She one of my new favorite authors. I didn't think I would like how she switches from one character's story to another but within 2-3 pages of the new character I was hooked into their story. Also she is terrrific at intertwining stories soyou find out what happens to other characters. "

" My first Maeve Binchy book. I love the way she intertwined all the characters' stories. Can't wait to read more of her work. "

" Maeve Binchy books are very readible. Always like little short stories that in the end meld together. "

" My favorite Maeve Binchy novel so far. I loved the diverse characters in the story, a very fun book. "

" Many people come together in an Italian class and how their lives are connected. I loved it! Thanks Karen "

" Possibly one of the best books I've ever read. Excellent! "

" I've read lots of Maeve Binchy books but this one is honestly my favorite. I cheered on nearly everyone in this book and fell in love with the sweetness of the story. I'd highly suggest this as a first read from this talented author. "

" A little bit of mystery and a little bit of suspense. Season it with love and every day lives and you have book to curl up with. "

" I read this book a long time ago but I remember becoming surprisingly engaged with the characters. It's the reason I want to read more Maeve Binchy books. "

" Love how she intertwines the characters!! "

" I enjoyed this very much. Read it back in 1999. Maeve Binchy is a favorite "comfort" writer. "

" True Maeve Binchy - easy to read, engaging characters, and it all comes together at the end! Good job! I want to take an Italian class now! "

" Very good book. I even managed to learn some Italian while reading it. "

" I will read this one again. I loved all the characters. "

" What a lovely novel! I am thoroughly in love with each and every character; I got so wrapped up in the story that I even lost track of some of the connections. I can give no higher praise! "
