I like that this book shows the bonds and friendships developed through knitting. As a knitter I can relate.

I was disappointed in this book and didn't enjoy it. I just plowed through to be done with it. It was very cliche and predictable. There are many better books out there. To its credit, there wasn't much swearing (only two or three words in the entire book) and no explicit sex. It will no doubt be made into a movie for the Lifetime Movie Channel.

I read this so I didn't have to think very hard while I was reading. This is not my typical genre. It served its purpose.

Meh.
That was my overall impression of The Friday Night Knitting Club.
It was not an enthralling work of fiction in any sense, nor did i have the charming and humourous elements that are typical of chick lit novels. Even as I reached page 300, I was still waiting for the plot to reveal itself. No such luck on that one.
The ending was a real shock to me and I cannot even guess how Kate Jacobs managed to write a sequel. I guess it doesn't matter though, because I have no intentions of reading it.
I give this book 2 stars because it was not that horrible to be worth only one, but it wasn't even mediocre enough to warrant 3.
