5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST book I have EVER read!!!!!!, July 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Stay Near You: One Story in Three (Paperback)

I saw this book in the library and it really compelled me to read it. I love the type of story that follows something like the ring to different stories. I could not stop reading this book!! I read it in 3 days what normally takes me 2 weeks!!! I told all my friends about it and they read it too!! This book really opened my eyes to what M.E. Kerr has written and since then I have read several other books by her. You MUST read this book if you like that kind of story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, November 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: I Stay Near You: One Story in Three (Paperback)

I read this book for a class assignment (I'm in the 9th grade). I didn't really look at the cover and see what it was about. I probably haven't read a book in about a year (besides the ones in school). Books don't interest me at all, so if I get a book, I usually read it in like 2 weeks, but I read this book in just one day. It might not have been all that suspenseful, but it made me want to turn the page and fight out what happened to all the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book, but I must warn you, once you read it, you won't put it down. The plot is first a little confusing, but keep reading, and it untangles into a love story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very lovely story!, April 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Stay Near You: One Story in Three (Paperback)

I Stay Near You is about three generations of two families. I liked it because it was a romantic story, and the characters seemed to be real. There wasn't a lot of action, but the story was good enough to keep me hooked. I like the idea of using three generations of the two families, but I was a little confused in the last part of the book. I was not so sure who the character was. After I found out that it was the grandson of the first character, I understood the story better.

This story kept my interest because the characters had so many problems. I liked the way the author would introduce new characters as the story went on. Also, the book was like reading history because it started in the 1930s and ended up in the 1990s. The book also had a part about the 1960s where it talked about the the Beatles. I heard about this singer group because they were famous. This historical information was interesting to learn because I knew very little about this time period. I can say that this book was very fun to read.
