The Friday Night Knitting Club (Center Point Platinum Fiction (Large Print))

Additional The Friday Night Knitting Club (Center Point Platinum Fiction (Large Print)) Information

Walker and Daughter is Georgia Walker's little yarn shop, tucked into a quiet storefront on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Friday Night Knitting Club was started by some of Georgia's regulars, who gather once a week to work on their latest projects and to chat-and occasionally clash-over their stories of love, life, and everything in between.

Georgia has her hands full, juggling the demands of running the store and raising her spunky teen daughter, Dakota, by herself. Thank goodness for Anita, her mentor and dear friend, and the rest of the members of the knitting club-who are just as varied as the skeins of yarn in the shop's bins. There's Peri, a prelaw student turned handbag designer; Darwin, a somewhat aloof feminist grad student; and Lucie, a petite, quiet woman who's harboring some secrets of her own.

However, unexpected changes soon throw these women's lives into disarray, and the shop's comfortable world gets shaken up like a snow globe. James, Georgia's ex, decides that he wants to play a larger role in Dakota's life-and possibly Georgia's as well. Cat, a former friend from high school, returns to New York as a rich Park Avenue wife and uneasily renews her old bond with Georgia. Meanwhile, Anita must confront her growing (and reciprocated) feelings for Marty, the kind neighborhood deli owner. And when the unthinkable happens, they realize what they've created: not just a knitting club, but a sisterhood

What Customers Say About The Friday Night Knitting Club (Center Point Platinum Fiction (Large Print)):

The many relationships that developed gave rise to some interesting discussions. We all liked the book, but were disappointed at the ending. We are looking forward to the movie with Julia Roberts. We are a small group of friends. We meet monthly in the parish library.

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 just can't really feel anything for the characters, and the fact that Georgia goes back to her cheating ex just makes me ill.

This is one of those movies in book form. Imagine a really bad Lifetime movie, complete with the awful, cheesy music and writing.

This is NOT a book I would have chosen on my own. This book reminds me a little of those.

My advice: don't waste your time on this garbage. 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.

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.

I would not recommend this book. There's a sad part that's supposed to be tragic and emotionally touching, but I didn't feel it. There were just too many characters and I didn't care enough about any of them. I wanted to like this book, I really did. Thankfully, I just paid $1 for it at a library book sale. I kept thinking it was going to get better and it never did. I thought the premise was great and I saw some potential here, but unfortunately the book just didn't live up to that potential. In fact, it just got worse toward the end.

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. I was quite bored for the first 3/4's of the book with predictable characters and storyline. So I guess it was worth reading for that inspiration. 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.

I read for pure love of reading, and like books with a theme like "knitting". I don't read books for political, social or racial reasons. 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. As a cozy mystery fan that loves knitting and quilting I was hoping to find something here that would be good. 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. Don't buy this series hoping to get themed fun out of it. There is a definite agenda to this series and I have read three hoping for something to happen to peek my interest.

Definitely more politcal correctness than intersting reading.
