Negative Positive
Title: Sappy and Thrown Together
Review: Quentins, my first Maeve Binchy experience, was a big disappointment. Quentins is too long, with too many characters, and too many silly, insignificant story lines. The main character, Ella, is flat and utterly boring. Her dilemma is ridiculously far-fetched and in no way fits with the other bland story line, that of the restaurant Quentins and the film about it. Even the names of the characters are inane, not to mention their dull, insipid conversations. Very little about the real city of Dublin comes through in this novel. I am amazed that this book was even published.
