The Book Group - Welcome Back! August 10, 2005
14 out of 17 found this review helpful
After such a long wait for Series 2 of The Book Group to come onto DVD the magic moment has finally arrived. The Book Group has been one of the most original, wittiest and unforgettable black comedies to hit our screens in recent years. It's a pity that it hasn't attracted the same massive following like Sex and The City or Footballer's Wives.
American ex-pat Claire and her international group of readers have returned and this series has certainly proved to be more entertaining than the first series. I found Janice's love triangle with Rab and his Spanish boyfriend Anselmo highly amusing as well as Claire's rivalry with her sister Jean who comes to Scotland to visit her. It's interesting to see Kenny's developments as a character throughout the second series when he's the first member of the Book Group to get his book published and the events that unfold in his life because of this.
There is so much to enjoy in the second series so anyone who loved The Book Group the first time will not be disappointed with this follow up. The Book Group will always hold a special place in my heart because I set up my own reading group at work because I loved this series so much. One year my group is still going strong and I've certainly learned to look and appreciate books in a different way due to the influence of this brilliant programme.
At long last! August 3, 2005

I don't know why it took so long for the second series of this fantastic show to come out on DVD - it feels as if I have been waiting for an eternity! This show is so well written and so well acted that you truly believe these characters are real. So much so that when I saw my favourite character Janice, in the Heat magazine adverts, I nearly passed out. Really, everyone should have this DVD in their collection (along with the first series), as it is a show you have to watch again and again to actually hear every joke and aside, see every gesture and facial expression, and experience every joyful moment. James Lance for once, is NOT desireable - and it takes genius to pull that off.
