Normally I am not a fan of book from the past. When I started reading this book I had no idea what to expect. The first 100/150 pages are.... Slow and long.... But after you get the story it is really nice written. The middle chapter is really good and builds up a lot excitement about what will happen next. You get sucked into the story about the family. Unfortunately as good as the middle part is - I think everyone was waiting for the '' big wow '' at the end. If you wait for that you will be a bit disappointed. The end is fast and confusion and you won't get answeres for some of the big questions you had on your mind during the whole book. The end also doesn't really make sense in a lot of point. Sadly it looks like the author had enough of spinning around and around and just wanted to finish the book in an evening.
But.. Anyway the book is good entertaining. And if you wanna read a book which you can read in the evening on the couch or in the morning on the tube where it doesn't matter if your mind is 100 percent there than this is deifnately the right book.

The Big Book of Socks has some pretty amazing sock patterns. There are tube socks, patterned and textured socks, Fair Isle socks, lacy socks, beaded and decorated socks, socks from the toe up… all sorts of socks. 75 different kinds of socks, actually. The variety is great! There are socks for everyone, in all needle sizes, all yarn types, all patterns that you can possibly imagine.

There's also lots of tips and suggestions in the front of the book, a list of resources, and a glossary with every definition in the back.

The book is just a little hard to figure out. There are some pictures, but not quite enough for me. Some of the patterns are just variations, so they don't have their own pictures. In some cases, there is one sock, and four or five ways to make it: for instance, there is one basic tube sock, and variations like picot hem fingering weight, contrast cuff fingering weight, ribbed fingering weight, worsted weight, etc.

 Also, some of the patterns say "do this and then follow the toe pattern on this page" and then when you go to that page, you have to follow the pattern in this category starting on this number row, and you have to work it like this pattern over here… and it's a little confusing. It would have been better if it had just had the pattern printed right there with the rest of it, instead of jumping from page to page to find the rest of the pattern.

If you adore socks and are looking for one book with every pattern for every occasion and every person, this is the way to go.

this is the first book by this author that I've read and it definitely wont be the last. i read this book over two nights i just couldn't put it down. this book is a fast starting getting right to the plot from the start. the chapters are by both main characters which gives you different perspectives on whats going on. the hot steamy scenes set the pages alight as you read but are nicely worked into the story. the characters are fab and i fell in love with them straight away, the secondary characters play a big role in the story as well. i thought it was a fab idea to include you tube songs on some of the chapters, it brought the chapters to life. i will definitely be on the look out of more from this author.

highly recommended

"It’s such a leftfield film for someone like me, but what is has is a very clear plot and it has two people trapped together inextricably. But what it does so well is that you laugh, you feel embarrassed, and then at the end — I cry my eyes out at the end of that film. Even thinking about it makes me upset. When Steve Martin is on the tube and John Candy gets off and he’s standing with his bag and he realises there is no one. It’s just such a beautiful thing. You can clearly see from Midnight Cowboy and Planes, Trains that there’s a pattern with me, and it’s really about loving other men – in a non-sexual way. It’s such a big thing for me — I value my friendships with my male friends. I’ve got a fiancé as well, and she’s certainly part of the action, but it’s a very different thing and you can’t get the same sort of friendship with a woman that you can with a man. And interestingly the filmmaking in Planes, Trains isn’t great. It looks so bad, it’s really televisual, but it’s got massive heart. ”"
