1: moderate
Book arrived in a timely manner and pages were in good condition. The only problem was that the review said like new and the cover was ripped in half and taped back together. Wish this was in the descpition.

2: Not as good as the first
I gave the first book 4 stars, and this one 3. Knit 2 rambles quite a bit, trying too hard to equal the stories with all the characters, instead of having a main focus and supporting characters, like the first novel did. It finally all comes together, a bit improbably, but in a fairly satisfying way. The characters are still interesting, and the friendships between them are still very nice to read.
I listened to this on audiobook, and the narrator does a fine job, differentiating between the characters nicely but without too many exaggerated voices (except for Ginger, a 5 year old girl who inexplicably sounds like a cranky old man with smoker's lung).

3: Knit Two
In the second book, the characters are a bit older and have changed slightly. When the past is talked about, it gives a different point of view or perspective of what actually happened. I'm about 25% in, but I am enjoying it. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed reading the first volume of the FNKC :-)

4: 2nd effort
...not quite as good as the first. As sequels often are, this one deals with the right characters and takes them on in time beyond the end of the first book. However, the conflict is not as strong nor are the characters as interesting. If you read the first book, you will enjoy the second, but it's not a must-read.

5: Pitiful...
A dear friend had loaned me The Friday Night Knitting Club several months ago and at its conclusion, I just wanted to throw the book against the wall! While my friend pretty much did not like the book, she went out, and even bought the hardcover edition of Knit Two.
Like the dear she is, she passed it along to me, saying this one was much better than the first loan.
While it is better...
It is ever so boring, ever so drawn out, ever ridiculous...
There are a few passages that are good writing but for the most part, I consider myself a true friend as I tried to get something out of this book.
My friend and I are both knitters...hence the sharing.
Kate Jacobs has commented that there was a demand for a sequel....
Look at the reviews...who demanded?
