I got this as a gift for my husband. The copy of the book was in good condition and I was very pleased that he read it right away.

Looked for a long time for anything that would get my husband on his feet and moving that was not called exercise. He has PPS and even walking is painful. He can stand as long as he can then sit in a chair and play all of the games in the Wii sports package and be moving more than he has in some time and have fun doing it.

I was drawn in by all of the fantastic reviews and I admit I didn’t dig a little deeper. I’m warning anyone African-American that this book is painful to read and it has triggers aplenty. Stockett’s use of lines like “Black as
I know it’s about context and it was part of the time but we all seem to forget that it was not that long ago. It also wasn’t exclusive to the South. My Grandmother was one of four maids that worked for the Pew family in Pa well into the 80s. That was no picnic. All good intentions aside, those words are still fresh and generations will still have scars hundred years from now. The pain is that deep.
The language she uses is upsetting and I almost stopped reading it offended me so badly. However, some stubborn part of me has to see things through because I was afraid that maybe I was wrong about the book. Turns out I wasn’t.
I gave this book three stars because the story was so touching, despite these major shortcomings. I was personally invested in the characters, even Hilly, who was so wrapped up in her own power and troubles she needed to control the world around her. Skeeter was sort of a sore spot for me. The way she kept coming to halfway conclusions about what was happening around her, but dropping the line of thought before it made her too uncomfortable. From her mother to Ablieen and Minny, she knew it was wrong but wouldn’t let herself feel it, which was disappointing.
In the end I had many different feelings while reading this book. I wonder at these women, the black community the way it was, so united and helpful to each other. The way it is so different now, everyone thinking of themselves. How more and more allies are standing up to those who still think that peop

After reading other reviews the device works as I had hoped. Browsing and purchasing books is simple, fast and works in most places (where I live the mobile signal can be a bit flaky). Renders pdfs very well with the screen in landscape orientation but the text is a bit small in portrait. Battery performs pretty much as claimed and is excellent with the wireless turned off. Well built solid device, good solid buttons and an excellent screen.

I found no point in going beyond the first sentence: “My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down.” The modifier “with the windows rolled down,” as all modifiers should, should be positioned next to what it is modifying. Here it is modifying “airport.” How does this airport have its windows rolled down? Why? Is an airport with retractable windows really meant, or is Meyer just a really bad writer? Apparently the latter. Ms. Meyer should have paid attention in her high school composition classes, for she apparently learned very little in them. If she cannot even get the crucial opening sentence right, one abandons all hope for the others in the middle of this “book.”
