I really liked the book, mainly because the story is excellent and very well written. If the author's purpose was to connect with teenagers (and I think it was), this purpose is definetly achieved, at least in my case...I haven't pointed it with 5 stars (I'd have liked to give it 4.5 stars, but unfortunately it is not possible) firstly because sometimes I have hated some of the characters, specially Anna-Karin and Vanessa... I mean, in some parts I would have liked to enter in the book and to tell them how stupid they were! The second reason is because the story is not original at all, although it has been raised in an original way. However, I think that it is not enough... sometimes it was too obvious what was going to happen.And about the characters... In my opinion Linnéa and Minoo are the best ones. I also liked Rebecka, despite she was maybe too perfect... well, the thing is that I liked her and her personality. And sometimes I feel like Minoo, in a way. And Linnéa is just fascinating. She is different, and that is all.With respect to Vanessa and Anna-Karin... it is better not to say anything, because they are too stupid sometimes.Ida? Not sure at all. At first is presented as quite stupid, but I'd like to read more about her and know her in order to know what to think about her.However, the story is very good, I enjoyed it very much and I cannot wait for reading the second part!!A Personīgi man likās, ka tīņu romānu laiks man ir pagājis un atgriežas tikai brīžos, kad rodas vēlme izslēgt smadzenes, bet par tīņu romānu šo var nosaukt tikai tie, kas nespēj paskatīties garām tēlu vecuma grupai. Kā izteicās paši autori, kad viņiem tika uzdots jautājums par tēliem: "Mēs radījām cilvēkus", un tieši kā cilvēkus, nevis klišejiskus tīņus es redzu "Apļa" 6 galvenos tēlus. Man nav daudz ko teikt par romāna fantastikas daļu, bet dziļums ar kādu tiek stāstīti katras meitenes individuālie stāsti, tik tiešām aizrauj. Iespējams tieši tajā vecumā daudzi no mums pieņēma lēmumus, kas vēl tagad tiešā veidā ietekmē mūsu dzīves. Šis romāns palīdz atcerēties, kā tieši tas bija un ka varbūt tas viens cilvēks, kurš padarīja tavu dzīvi par elli, gāja cauri pats savējai. Visnotaļ iesaku :)
