This was no Amy/Veronica book.

Is it me or did Marilyn Sachs' books get really dark and with abrupt/strange endings when she moved to San Francisco?

This book is OK, but like an abbreviated/depressing Paul Zindel.

Circles is a pretty good book, I didn't mind it. I liked how it shows both lives and point of views of these characters. Marc was my favorite character because me and him have a lot of the same likes on sports, music, and other things. I really loved the way the author changed points of views between the characters because you can see their lives from each of their point of their view. It was awesome to see how they are both feeling about whats going on around them.

I thought for the most part that this book was boring. Its a total girl book and im not a girl. This book was about a girl and a boy that meet at the end of the story but the whole time during the story, they both had a bunch of chances of meeting each other but they never did. So the majority of the story is about drama that happens because of this school play called Romeo an Juliet but there teacher got sick so a substitute filled in and change the idea of the play. So all the kids in the school were mad but in the end they like it. Until the last paragraph and now its like who knows if anything actually happened. So I feel that this book wasn't really good. I think girls would like this book because its about school and drama.

this is really more of a 2.5 but the up-rating is for nostalgia's sake. so cheesy and dated now, but man i ate it up when i was nine.
