Elm Creek Quilts

review 1: I think Mrs. Chiaverini has gotten tired of our Elm Creek Quilters. I didn't enjoy the time jump, but it was the inconsistencies that killed it for me. If you're going to write 20 books with intertwining characters and stories then you should keep notes because we will notice when entire characters go missing or when plot lines don't match. So sad, this is the series that started me on quilting and I'm sad to see that it ended so badly. (This isn't the first book with inconsistencies, but it is the first with glaring mistakes: "Sylvia had once declared that Gerda Bergstrom's apple strudel had never tasted better than when prepared with Matt's apples. That was on the Christmas before Gerda's death, at age ninety-three, when the twins were ten years old." Um, how is it th... moreat Gerda died when the twins were ten? Shouldn't that had said Sylvia's death? Just an example of how the author and editor did not really care about this book.)
review 2: Not really sure if I can label this as contemporary, as actually it's a flashforward to the 2020's... a bit strange, I must confess. Initially I found it actually quite irritating, but as the mainstay of the book is made up of "flashbacks" to what is more or less contemporary, I was able to ignore the slightly futuristic spin and settle into the story. As I've been able to read the whole series thanks to weeder's wonderful spiral on bookcrossing, the recapping of the previous episodes (so to speak) was sometimes a bit long, and sometimes a useful reminder. It looks like there are only two books left in the series - I have one here already, and hope the final book will arrive at some point. less
