The Friday Night Knitting Club

I'm not a huge chick-lit fan, and ultimately, that's what this was. The characters were fairly superficial, each an archetype of a female cliche, with a Central Theme and not much further expansion. There were romances and friendships, and, well, exactly what I imagine the generic chick-lit book to be. It wasn't bad in any sense, just, okay.

I read it for the knitting, and the nice thing about it being such a superficial read is that I could knit while reading it, which was nice, because it made me crave knitting.

This book was okay. I got it for Christmas and read it because it was around. I think the intended audience for this book was a bit older than my age group, as I couldn't really identify much with a lot of the middle aged characters' issues and lives. Still, it wasn't terrible. The ending surprised me, however!

The story of friendship is always compelling, but these particular characters weren't people I would really went ti know. I suppose they turned out okay and the friends stuck with them until they became okay people. So maybe I'm just a bad friend.
Seriously though, the people aren't great and the ending is more tragic than it needed to be. However it is compelling and emotional, so I'm not sorry I read it, or listened to it.
