Rating:  Summary: Couldn't Put It Down! Review: This book is great! Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. I finished it in 2 days flat. I could really relate to Amy. I've have had some of the same feelings and thoughts as she had. I wish the book didn't end! Write a follow-up Josie and Emlyn!

Rating:  Summary: An Honest Portrayal Of The Emotions Behind A Relationship Review: My initial reaction upon completing Come Together was that I had wasted my time. I originally thought, "Boy meets girl, boy and girl get together, boy and girl break up, boy and girl get back together: how predictable can you get?" I was also unimpressed by the stereotypes of people in their late twenties that are used to depict the main characters. Thus, at first glance, I was ready to discard this book into the "mistake" pile. But, something kept telling me that I was not giving the book enough credit. So, I went back and reread it. That's when I noticed the wonderful scene where Amy describes her disappointment in discovering that she's not the first woman Jack's taken to Brighton, even though she has little guilt about her previous twelve lovers. I also noticed the great scene where Matt defines the reasons why Jack told Amy about his unfaithfulness. I then realized what this book contains that allows it to transcend its simplistic plot. Simply put, there's an emotional honesty to the scenes that one doesn't usually find in a book that's so straightforward on the surface. I should stress that Come Together is not great literature. But, it will make one reminisce about the feelings that everyone feels and missteps that everyone makes in the early stages of a relationship. Any book that can create that kind of emotional resonance is definitely a book that should be read.
Rating:  Summary: Come Together Review: Loved, Loved, Loved this book! I couldn't put it down. I cried, I laughed and I felt that i could totally relate to the relationship between Jack and Amy. It is true courtship in the 90's.
Rating:  Summary: Better and Best Review: A really great, funny book especially if you are around 25-30 years of age. Really a funny, funny book.
Rating:  Summary: Watch out Briget Jones Review: I have been reading many of these singleton books in the past year or so, but I must say this book blew me away. The relationship and the courting in this book made me wish for my own. I enjoyed this book during every page... and highly recomend it to all those who even in the depths of their own heart yearn for love.
Rating:  Summary: GREAT BOOK!!! Review: I just loved this book - so witty and entertaining. If you don't like this, you are probably a DULL person. READ IT.
Rating:  Summary: mad good Review: i loved the way that i can relate to this book...ive got all my friends reading it and id like to read somethin else like it
Rating:  Summary: Dot to dot drivelling Review: The kindest thing you can say about this book is that it's probably reads better if English isn't your first language. The vision of British youth this presents makes me cringe... and there's going to be a sequel??!! badly written, unadventurously plotted, maladroitly constructed: slack, in a word.
