How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we donโ€™t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

3.0 out of 5 starsSame Indescretion....one Worse
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on April 5, 2007
I am reading this book and I am enjoying it....but theres a couple of parts that annoy me.....Sam and neighbor Teke have a 2 min encounter...accident to Tekes son happens....Sam tells about indescretion....okay now theres problems...

OK then Annie...Sams wife....has a little indescretion at the school with a younger student teacher named Jason....feeling sad about Sam....she stopped after he touched her all over....she said it was a mistake.....but here she is....but now still giving Sam a hard time... than theres Tekes husband JD....has been fooling around behind her back for a long time...and he's acting all good and holy being very mean to Teke when he was never honest in his relationship to her! I mean....he don't count! WHAT! Annie should have less attitude since now she wronged Sam...she didn't tell him about it..like he told her....I have about 100 pages left...I hope Delinsky has made it better so I won't be annoyed anymore....I love her as a writer....this is the first book I had a annoyance with....this was my first review ever on a book....enjoy or not.......

It was a good read. The author makes you feel like you know the characters personally. The storyline is one that I'm sure some people can relate to in that it depicts how devastating poor choices can be to a relationship and to their loved ones.

I enjoyed this book, it was an easy read and perfect for a holiday. I wouldn't say she was as deep as Jodi Picoult which I was told was the case but a nice story all the same

In the begginning it was kinda confusing the way she started naming all the charachters but once that was done, and I finally got them straight this book was good. I couldn't stop reading it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding early Delinsky
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on February 18, 2013
This 1993 Barbara Delinsky book is her best early work I have read. Centered on two families that are intertwined by two decades of close friendship, the events of one fateful afternoon blow apart each of the relationships between and among them. And, by the way, other reviewers, was the catalyst action "realistic"? People have messed up relationships in so many different and shocking ways that I was willing to accept the events as written. Besides, we hardly know the subjects when the events occur. Their characters unfold and develop in reaction to these severe tests of who they are and who they love.

Now 20 years after it was written, there is an ongoing cultural debate in the US between "moral relativism" and "moral rigidity". More Than Friends picks its way delicately between the extremes and puts a human face on situations where you might say "I would never..." or "I would always...".

4.0 out of 5 stars Suprising ... but deep.
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on April 6, 2010
I finished this book ... and asked myself where the romance ended up. I mean, I choose Delinsky because she is a romance writer with depth and skill, no longer the Harlequin-type.( boring!) I expect characters with brains and personality ... and she doesn't disappoint in this one.

But the romance storyline came in a fairly distant second or third to the exploration of what happens when cheating occurs in a seemingly "immune" marriage ... and tho instant reaction of "throw-him-out" does occur, reality -- real life --- also serves to shade that instant reaction with forgiveness, and underlying love. All sorts of marriage questions come up. After 30+ years myself, I have asked: what if it ever happened to me? I think she dealt with the subject with wisdom and grace. Wasn't what I was expecting -- but GOOD.

The book was good and took a few turns that I didn't expect. The first few pages were a little wild but it was a good book all in all.
