This book never really had a chance of getting higher than a 3 for a couple of reasons: 1. I just finished my Harry Potter marathon and honestly, I have a very hard time reading anything after that book. You just can't get much better than Rowling and 2. I'm always very skeptical about books that have SO much hype around it---they can rarely live up to it. But, this book wasn't bad. It was a fast read and most of the characters were likeable. But I wasn't crazy about the shift in point of views. Just when I was interested in a character's story, the point of view would shift (which I know is probabaly Stockett's intent, but it's annoying). Also, I agree w/ some of my other friends have said: some of the storylines were just glossed over and/or tied up "too" neatly. I really liked the character of Celia and wish there was more about her background, and the Constatine story line seemed almost out of place. I would also love more of the Hilly / Elizabeth / Skeeter friendship--are we really supposed to believe that they were all really that close? And if so, could I have some background please? But this book was what I was looking for after my summer of Harry Potter. But I have no desire to see this film. I'm already imagining so many things changing.

Loved this book, it was witty and fun and dealt surprisingly well with serious issues such as cheating and what's important in life.

This was a quite entertaining book, and some of the characters and scenes were, I think the phrase is, 'beautifully observed'. In fact I wrote a review of it for work so if you are seriously contemplating whether to read it or not this may well help you. Or of course you could always just read my review instead - it's quite lengthy. Firstly, I liked this as a book: it was wittily and amusingly written, but quite simple and not particularly demanding to read. The story kept me interested and wondering about the end, although I wouldn’t say that I was gripped. Its story was an analogy to do with Nazis during the post-war era which I must say wasn’t obvious to me – I would put this down to the book having dated given that a lot of people in the 21st Century are not particularly au fait with the social implications following the demise of Nazism. Having said this it provided a mirror to what happens to a lot of countries and people after war. However, I would not say that this not being obvious was much of a problem, being unaware of it just shaves off an element from what is otherwise an entertaining story. The plot centres around Lorry Widdenberg – a princess whose full name is Lorelei Ulrike Maria von und zu Boschkampf von Widdenburg - who starts the story at a Swiss finishing school at the age of 13 with various other titled and grand girl friends, although none as aristocratic, beautiful or charming as her. Lorry is vastly intellectually-developed, socially-aware and a thoroughly rebellious young girl, who, outraged at the injustices meted out to the Baader-Meinhof-Esslin group during the Second World War, forms the Himbeere group with four of her friends. Himbeere’s main aim is the destruction of fascism thereby putting an end to worldwide social and sexual inequality. They call this period the Raspberry Reich, and their emblem is a raspberry with blood coming from it, secretly worn underneath their uniform printed on t-shirts. Their activities culminate in a screeching and offensive punk number performed at their end of term concert – following on the heels of Bach recitals, upper-crust mummies drop their caviar canapés etc., and the girls are subsequently expelled. Fortuitously, Lorry’s mother dies in a car crash with her latest ‘fabulous’ young man, leaving Lorry an orphan. She is shipped off to stay with her grandfather, with whom her long-dead scientific genius of a father had fallen out before her birth, as a result of his defection to the America after the war. Against her will, Lorry is mesmerised by the fairytale castle, deer-populated grounds and her dignified magical grandfather, Von Widdenberg. Lorry becomes Lorelei, and fits in to the lifestyle of a princess in terms of dress, language and decorum. The levis and Mickey Mouse trainers are stuffed to the back of her new wardrobe. However, after a few weeks of getting along ‘divinely’ with her grandfather, cracks start to appear when he goes back to spending time with his mistress the Countess Stephanie, and soon the precocious, cynical and lonely Lorry reappears: the Lorry who has been shunted between boarding schools, missing her dead father and in denial of her glamorous but absent mother’s recent death. She decides to invite one of the Himbeere gang over, the large-breasted and sexually-voracious Clio Hankey-Heymann, and while exploring they discover her grandfather’s secret bank office, hidden behind a moveable bookcase in the castle’s library. There they find a photo of her beloved grandfather shaking hands with Hitler, a case of swastika-embossed daggers, and equally-incriminating war medals. Lorry is deeply shocked, and the discovery obviously has dire repercussions for her new-found security with the only remaining member of her family.

The book follows the movie up until the end. Minor changes from the movie (which I saw first) but a very enjoyable read.
I dig what doctorow chooses to talk about in these stories just not his style of talking.
patience and attitude

Awesome! Reminded me of The Thirteenth Tale. Love the suspense and intrigue and all the mystery that surrounds that time period. Love how Morton seamlessly jumped from one point of time to the next. Can't wait to read another of hers!
