I purchased my Kindle before going on vacation because I like to read at night in the room instead of watching mindless TV. It was great. I read 4 books without having to carry them around in the suitcase. I am also trying to declutter my life and books are one of those things getting in the way – I just donated 23 hardcovers and 18 paperbacks to our local library and haven’t scratched the surface yet. The only downside is that some areas have limited access to Whispernet so sometimes I find myself driving around looking for a connection and downloading books in parking lots away from home.

After reading the first fifty or so pages, I stopped and thought that surely someone is going to make a movie out of this book. It is definitly the best book I’ve read in years. And Kathryn Stockett truly speaks the voice of southern women. As a Yankee transplant now in her 25th year in the South, this voice I know well and this is “it”.

Fortunately I can happily add that the racist voices you hear in this book are from the past. You would have to dig far and deep here in the South to find these attitudes anymore in educated women. And with that I’m not going to say anything more lest I spoil it for those who haven’t read the book yet. But please, don’t hesitate. It’s wonderful.

To whoever makes this movie, please don’t ruin it by putting someone from up north in it with a fake Southern accent. It will kill the movie.

As a teen reader it’s hard not to look at the fantasy book Twilight as every girl’s teen dream romance, but it does have flaws that can be hard to ignore.
Stephanie Meyer obviously aimed this book at teenage readers, not aimed as at much the mature adult audience. The story’s main characters, Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, the vampire Bella of course, falls head over heels for were brought to life wonderfully by Ms. Meyer. She really does an admirable job of describing every moment and thought of her characters, taking the reading experience to a new level as the book comes to life in the reader’s mind. Which adds to the whole experience, but the many grammatical errors can make some parts confusing. The editor chosen for the book did not do their job appropriately, so the reader must be prepared for moments such as this. Despite the grammatical errors, the book has some great cliff hangers. Stephanie Meyer knows how keep an audience by simply building up the suspense mid-chapter then, as you finish the chapter the reader is left asking questions. This, in turn, urges the reader to press on through the short, easy read. I have read other people’s comments towards the book often describing the book as totally unrealistic and dangerous to teenage girl’s perception of a hero (Edward) and a heroine (Bella). What these folks seem to overstep is that the book is purely fantasy, it was meant for the enjoyment of another world less mediocre than our own. So, obviously the book is unrealistic. For those readers who feel that it will damage a young adults perception of a hero and/or heroine have not been in a teenage girl’s shoes for a while. As one, I feel that the relationship between Edward and Bella is not particularly healthy, but it does demonstrate that love is a confusing, twisted road to walk down. If an adult reader is unsatisfied with the picture portrayed that is fine, they have every right to their own opinion, but if a parent is truly concerned about whether the
