Likable. The words definitely come from the perspective of a nineteen-year-old but it is also cognizant of the zeitgeist and culture of the TuPac era.
Read this while you are eating on a plane next to a sick person.
Congratulations, Kathryn Stockett for a marvelous first book! I don't usually like reading the best sellers or books others are going crazy about, but somehow I was curious about this one. With the movie coming out, I wanted to read before seeing Hollywood's interpretation. I wasn't raised in the south, unless you can count Southern California. But I do remember things my grandparents said. My grandma would tell us not to pick up money off the sidewalk, "because you don't know what black man might've had it." Little things like that. I thought nothing of it. The trick worked. We didn't pick up the stray coins. I didn't see black people very often in our part of town. I was surprised as an adult when I went back to my home city, that there was a whole section of town I had never been in. And I only learned about it because of the pictures of history up in the downtown library. I admit to being embarrassed that I hadn't known. Hopefully, this book has brought us altogether to discuss. We can never walk in another's shoes, not really, but we can try to understand; communicate. Just because we didn't have "help" in the homes I grew up in, neither were we poor or in the minority. We may have been lucky to have a good education, but we were ignorant of what might have been happening to others who lived in the same town. From other books I've read, the '60s didn't solve all the problems we thought we had. In fact, it seems the pendulum has swung the opposite direction. I see far more prejudice now more than ever, especially to blacks and women of all colors. If this book is selling as well as it seems, maybe the open dialogue will Help us all. Thank you Ms. Stockett.

Ellie Wiesel is able to convey the complete evil of what one man can do to another is this chilling account of how his family was eliminated by the Nazi's Final Solution. You are able to feel his terror and relate to the death of his innocence as only a teenager in 1944. This is a lesson that must not be missed nor forgotten lest it happen again.
I love this book-historical fictional mystery within a mystery witha little romance thrown in. The scene describing the cemetery of lost books is heaven on earth for us bibliophiles.

as far as ancient texts go, this piece of writing is superb. written about odysseus and his travels from troy back home, it is exciting and amusing. the language isn't hard to decipher (assuming you are reading a translation into english) and it is fun to research the background and the rules that are laid down in this text. the rules that are laid down are clearly the rules that the greeks used to live by. if you like your history, read this book!!
Read 8/20/11 - 8/21/11 4 Stars - Strongly Recommended Pgs: 64 Publisher: Curbside Splendor /Oct 2011 Victor David Giron - publisher, editor-in-chief, publicist, author and accountant for Curbside Splendor - sent me an advance PDF of this collection of poems by first time published poet Frankie Elliot. Piano Rats should be available sometime in October. From page one, her honesty and ability to drop an F-Bomb won my heart. Here is a woman who is no stranger to love - She’s suffered its beauty, its jealousy, and its brutal end. Her poetry is like a mirror hanging on my wall, reflecting my own emotions and thoughts back at me. She makes me want to scream "Fuck You" to every guy I dated who didn't "get me". She makes me want to get behind the pretty words people throw around, quit beating around the bush, and see things for what they really are. She creates a language of her own, breathing out lines like: "Love sometimes is just another word for jealousy", and "We can't save ourselves from anything that's supposed to happen". Frankie finds beauty in pain, and I want her to show me how.

I was hugely surprised at the struggle it was to finish this. Upon first reaing, "The Living" is a testament to Dillard's considerable abilities to write in an eipc style; that sense of the epic persists throughtout, leaving the reader at times quite outside the narrative. Characterization saves this one, though-- the individuals depicted become so real throughout their stories that they are hard to let go...

Clever story told from an odd viewpoint - that of "we" - sort a plural omniscient. Engaging story of three sisters all named after Shakespearean heroines by their professor father. Each sister's character is well-drawn and completes a satisfying journey by the end of the story. I felt it became a bit repetitious, but it's a quick, fun read.
