We all liked the book, but were disappointed at the ending. We are a small group of friends. We meet monthly in the parish library. The many relationships that developed gave rise to some interesting discussions. We are looking forward to the movie with Julia Roberts.
This is one of those movies in book form. I just can't really feel anything for the characters, and the fact that Georgia goes back to her cheating ex just makes me ill.
I recently joined a book club and didn't want to rock the boat and put my foot down about this book, and the fact that I wasn't interested in reading it. This is NOT a book I would have chosen on my own.
This book reminds me a little of those. I could tell very early on that I wouldn't like the book, and now that I am almost through with it I know that I was right.
I abhor "romance novels" and sure, I read some in the past, but grew out of that by the time I was in high school. Imagine a really bad Lifetime movie, complete with the awful, cheesy music and writing.
My advice: don't waste your time on this garbage.
There's a sad part that's supposed to be tragic and emotionally touching, but I didn't feel it. I thought the premise was great and I saw some potential here, but unfortunately the book just didn't live up to that potential. I wanted to like this book, I really did. There were just too many characters and I didn't care enough about any of them. I kept thinking it was going to get better and it never did. In fact, it just got worse toward the end. I would not recommend this book. Thankfully, I just paid $1 for it at a library book sale.
I was quite bored for the first 3/4's of the book with predictable characters and storyline. Having heard many good things about this book I finally had a chance to read it and am sorry to say I found it quite disappointing. I didn't think it was particularly well written and the story itself was mediocre. The last part of the book grabbed my attention but it was sad and ended abruptly.I did buy some yarn and needles yesterday and started a scarf, remembering the basic knitting stitch that my grandma taught me many many years ago. So I guess it was worth reading for that inspiration.
I read for pure love of reading, and like books with a theme like "knitting". This series has little to do with anything but a thinly veiled attempt to project a view point.
Dull boring characters, no drama or suspense. There is a definite agenda to this series and I have read three hoping for something to happen to peek my interest.
Unless your agenda matches the author's, there is little of interest in this book. I read all the Elm Quilt novels and they are not mystery books just good character studies.
Definitely more politcal correctness than intersting reading. As a cozy mystery fan that loves knitting and quilting I was hoping to find something here that would be good.
I don't read books for political, social or racial reasons. Don't buy this series hoping to get themed fun out of it.
