I kinda liked it. But I'm not sure I liked it enough to want to read it again. the book was long enough that I was almost ready for it to be over by the time I was had read 75% of it. It didn't feel like the typical horror kind of book Stephen king is seems to be known for.

47. A Single Thread by Marie Bostwick. Sep 8, 2011

A Single Thread looks like a book I'd like to read. Have you read it yet? If so, what did you think?

I finished A Single Thread last night. I liked it. It turned out to be a good, easy, entertaining read - sort of a start-a-new-business/find-new-friends in a new town kind of story with a bit of quilting and cancer thrown in. As a forwarning, the author wrote A Single Thread so that the narrator alternates between 2 characters every 1-3 chapters... I have a friend or two who kind of dislike that kind of thing.
