Book Review of Crazy Aunt Purl's Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair: The True-Life Misadventures of a 30-Something Who Learned to Knit After He Split

Helpful Score: 3


I picked this up on a complete whim. I do not knit. I am in my mid-twenties; never been divorced. I have never owned a cat, and I don't drink. But, for some reason this book was appealing to me. I had read some reviews and it seemed like a nice, light book to read.

Well, It wasn't as funny as I had expected, based on the reviews I'd read. Perhaps I'm just not in the target demographic. However, it was a quick read and kept my interest for most of the book. I've since checked out the author's blog, and it is indeed very funny. I just wish the book was as funny as promised (or as funny as the blog).
