I thought this could be a reasonable crochet book, with some patterns or stitches that I might find interesting to try for myself.
I'm sad to admit that I found it disappointing. I'm not sure if it was the edit itself or the kindle formatting. The pattern instructions were all over the place with random insertions in the middle of rows, and pieces of text that were misplaced, as well as portions of words missing completely.
Besides the formatting issues I didn't find any of the designs appealing to me at all, so would have been really disappointed if I'd actually purchased the book.
Overall I think I gave the book a good try to like it in spite of the previously mentioned technical issues, but I just couldn't bring myself to like it at all. Not one for my shelf.
I am thankful to Michael O'Mara Limited | LOM ART and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book for free.
