Friday Night Knitting Club

The characters were interesting. Loved the intros to the chapters relating them to knitting processes. So sad at the end. We were all disappointed.

Th.e Dog Stars

Man's book with references to fishing, hunting, airplanes, etc. End of the world and not many people survived. Writing style made it very difficult to get into the book and follow along. Didn't get interesting until the last third of the book

Light Between Oceans

Our group gave this book a 4 out of 5. The author's writing style was excellent and her fact finding wonderful, but we found the story very sad. Some of us had to go to the end to make sure there was a happy ending.

 
The Bookman's Wake

We found the book confusing with too many characters, too much unnecessary description, and too many stories that made it difficult to follow. One-third of the group didn't finish the book. However, many found the author's earlier books better reads.

Lake of Dreams

We found the main character self-absorbed and uninteresting. Interest didn't pick up till half way through the book when letters from an ancestor were read.

Expecting Adam

We felt the book was informative, however, at times unrealistic and hard to believe, i.e. mental telepathy, etc. Great insight into the Harvard mentality

We liked the story but felt there were too many characters and it was difficult to follow all of their stories. Great concept and surprise ending.

Aviator's Wife

This book was very informative about the life of Charles Lindberg's wife and her struggles to maintain a happy marriage. We needed to recognize when this happened and that there was no women's lib at the timel.

Gray Mountain: A Novel by John Grisham

Gray Mountain

Not a great Grisham book. Too much time spent on a cause and not enough on the story line.

Loved this story but as more and more disasters occurred we realized the story couldn't be true. That was disappointing but the story was inspirational and beautiful anyway

Orphan Train

This book enlightened me to the horror of orphans during this period in history. It was sad to see the unfavorable conditions they were raised in through no fault of themselves. I would recommend this book to all so that something like this never happens again.
