Rating:  - Friday Night Knitting Club
I really enjoyed this book. It was fairly predictable throughout, though there were a few unexpected twists. The message seemed to be that we can't run away from our family, and family love overcomes all other.
Rating:  - The Friday Night Knitting Club
This book was very easy (simple) reading, but never seemed to develop much of a plot. The characters seemed to be suited for 50+ year olds who never grew from the junior high stage of this type of story. After the first 14 chapters, I skipped to chapter 35 and finished the book, knowing the entire story.
Rating:  - Amateurish and superficial
As I read this book, I kept wondering how on earth it got published. I suspect that the publisher wanted to capitalize on the popularity of knitting. The characters are superficially drawn, the pace and plotting are jumpy and uneven, and the ending is right out of a bad soap opera. Thank goodness I checked this out from the library! If you're curious -- or think that your own love of knitting will help you get over the book's many flaws -- I suggest you do the same. Save your money to spend on some really nice yarn...............
Rating: - Saturday Night Knitting Club
Very predictable and simplistic style of writing. Weak character developmnet. However, the idea was good, and our group could appreciate the female bonding and support evident in any group (book, knitting, bunco, etc...) The group is always more important than the knitting, and that's a truism.
Rating: - Enjoyable.
This is an entertaining novel, not a fantastic one but entertaining it is. The core here is love, family, friendship, and forgiveness.
Georgia Walker is a single mom who raises her 12 year old daughter on her own while running a yarn store in uptown Manhattan. Dakota is a smart kid with acute longings for her Dad who she meets upon his unexpected visit to their store. James is black and apparently he left Georgia with their baby without looking back to avoid dealing with a biracial marriage and all it would have entailed.
The characters are vividly written and quite diverse; they are mostly Georgia's customers who come together to bond in a weekly night of knitting, noshing, and conversation bringing different cultures and economic backgrounds to the table.
It's a novel you could read during a long flight. Enjoyable.
