 Not enough depth for me. September 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Friday Night Knitting Club started out with so much promise, but it left me bored by the end. The characters had no depth and didn't seem connected on more than a very superficial level. Did the first few chapters make me want to start knitting? Yes. A yarn shop with bins of colorful yarn was a very appealing setting. Did I get the feeling that Georgia and James were in love? No. And what was the point of Cat? She tags along on a trip to Scotland and then she's barely mentioned while they are there. The whole reason Cat and Georgia had a falling out as teenagers didn't make sense. Teenagers can't keep those kinds of things secret.
I was disappointed to say the least.

 Kept me in Stitches September 17, 2008
I listened to this book over two days and thoroughly enjoyed it. I managed to clean my whole house and walk an endless beach and back (luckily alone - tears in a crowd while listening to a book can be embarrassing) while enjoying the book.
The woman she has reading the novel does a wonderful job and I think really made the book come alive. There were a lot of different characters she had to portray and she captured their characters with her voice very very well. I hope Kate has this woman read "Comfort Food". I think she enriched the novel.
I loved the chapter tie in lessons woven with knitting lessons/truths... although you need not be a knitter to appreciate. The story line was full and entertaining throughout the book and each of the women's stories was something every woman could relate to.
I will not spoil the ending. I will just say... bring kleenex.
A very lovely first novel for sure. I will be reading/listening to "Comfort food".
It took me a month to read September 15, 2008
I picked this up during a trip to New York. I usually finish two books in a week, especially on vacation. Well, this one took 1 month. The characters bored me. The story bored me. I kept saying, so???? Pass on this one.
 Excellent reading... September 11, 2008

The Friday Night Knitting Club is an excellent book. The characters are well developed and the interactions are memorable. I couldn't stop reading this book...it was just great. I can't knit but I learned how a craft could not only produce wonderful garments, but can also produce binding (and lasting) friendships.
Stolen Magnolias September 9, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really felt like this book was based on Steel Magnolias but change the place and what drove the women all together. In the movie it was their location, in this book, it is about Knitting. The story is predictable and the ending was probably thrown in there because she didn't know how else to end the book.
