formulaic: I didn't even bother to finish this. I wasn't expecting the great American novel- but something light and entertaining. It was so predictable it was boring. Characters and plot felt plugged into a formula, as though the author was picturing it being made into a cheesy movie as she wrote it. Too many books in the world and too little time to spend it on ones like this.
The Friday Night Knitting Club, by Kate Jacobs: At first I found this to be a slow reader, however, it could have been just me. I have enjoyed the book, and look forward to the second one.
Knitting: I love to knit and thought this would be a great book to read. I loved it and will read it again. I am glad the author came out with a second book to this which is excellent as well.
Friday night knitting club: I am not a advid reader,but this book was one of the BEST books I have ever read. I love how I could relate to the characters. This book draws you into every character. It was an affirmation of what I believe Everything happens for a reason. You might not know why,but in the end it works out most of the time. Can't wait to read Knit Two.
Flawed but cozy: I enjoyed this book. It's not perfect but I liked coming to know these women. The main character is Georgia, who owns a knitting shop, which is the setting for much of the book. She has a 12 yr old biracial daughter, Dakota, whose father is an ex-boyfriend, who has come back into their lives after many years. The other main characters are members of the knitting group that meets at the store. They are a quirky bunch. Some of the characters are more developed than others and I did not like a few of the plot twists, especially towards the end. With so many characters, it's to be expected that some are weaker than others. Overall, I was satisfied to spend time with the ladies in this book. I do think the cover blurb has it right. Steel Magnolias in Manhattan...I agree. I am looking forward to the movie.
