I was always certain I would@ never have any desire to read the Twilight books, but I was a little curious, so I downloaded a sample of the first novel on my Kindle to check it out. To my surprise, I was intrigued and impressed by the first chapter, and so I decided to purchase the whole book.
I read it in five days, and it would have been fewer days if I didnt have to work and sleep. It was so well written, suspenseful, and engrossing that I couldnt put it down. The relationship between Bella and Edward is so beautiful and well developed, and the vampire world really pulls you in. The author has a natural ability to keep you turning the page. Very hard to put down and definitely worth the ride. it’s easy to see why so many people have gotten sucked in to the Twilight mania.
Murder with Music 1941
I heard parts of an audio version of this book a few months ago and wanted to buy it to read the whole thing together. I finally bought it two weeks ago. I finished it yesterday. I don’t know if it’s the best book I ever read, it’s certainly not the worst book.
The Help is the story of a young white Southern woman who teams up with the maids of the city of Jackson, MS, right at the start of the civil rights movement. Fed up with the way that her friends treat their servants, empowered by a college education, and emboldened by the maids’ anger at the way they’ve been treated, she sets out to write a book that anonymously airs the stories of how white ladies treat their maids. They know the danger of complaining about the system, but the maids’ dignity, and Skeeter’s desire to be more than just another Junior League belle with a family silver pattern push them forward.
The strong points of the book are that it really does give one an idea where the civil rights movement may have started. How many indignities is one supposed to take in life? Why was it ever acceptable to tell another human they had to use the bathroom in the garage, or eat outside, or wash their hands with bleach? Why were people so convinced this was right? Hilly Holbrook is the perfect villain: ruthless in her treatment of anyone who crosses her path, be it the maids who spoke out, Skeeter for questioning the status quo, or even Celia, whose only mistake is to have married one of Hilly’s former boyfriends. The book makes us ask: Do we see things the way they really are, or the way we want them to be?
Perhaps the best part of the book though, is the beautiful depiction of the relationships between the nannies and the children. Aibeleen loves Mae Mobley and tries, in her own gentle way, to teach her to see beyond color. Getting a store to change a policy is a small victory, changing the world through a child is winning the war.
But there are troublesome problems with the book. Mainly how weak a

I must admit, I wish that I read this book for the first time while I was in high school. It would have been a great book to read in school, too – I definitely would have preferred to read this over some of the other assigned books. It would have been a lot of fun to discuss. And it really is amazing just how timeless this book is, I mean, for the most part, it feels like this could have been published this year. It just feels very fresh and modern, which I suppose is one of the tell-tale signs of a true classic novel. I didn’t really know what to expect from the book, and I did really enjoy reading it. I will say, though, I read somewhere that there is a window of opportunity to read this book, and that if you read it when too young, or too old, you lose the book’s full power, and I can definitely see how that statement is true. Still, Holden Caulfield is a great character, but I would have liked him even more if I had been introduced to him at a younger age.

I apologize for the lack of effort on the part of the publisher. Please know that I have nothing to do with the publishing process at this point. I have been begging Prentice Hall to fix these errors and have forwarded on the comments I have received from readers. It seems these comments are falling on deaf ears. Please contact Prentice Hall directly if you receive a book that contains printing errors.
I hope the content in the book is still valuable to all eCos developers.
Thanks,
Anthony

A great book to get a perspective of the 60s segregation in the South. I have always heard that in the 60’s there was a lot of racism, but I really did not realize how much. The book really shows how far racism has come in the last 50 years. I enjoyed seeing the story told from both perspectives, the black housemaids and the white employers.
The book read really well. I loved how the book was written in the black southern ascent (when in the view of the housemaids), but I was disappointed that they did not do the same for the white people. The book was written in a way that made you not want to stop reading it. Once I got about half way through the book, I kept finding myself wanting to know what was going to happen next. This made me read through the book really fast.
For one that did not live in the 60s, I would recommend this book to everyone.

I absolutely love this thing. I haven’t had any trouble with satellite acquisition or heart rate jumping up and down (which I’ve heard are common complaints). I’ve used it for running and biking so far, and switching between sports in the middle of a workout is so easy. I definitely recommend this to anyone who’s been on the fence about it.

The stories in this Houghton Mifflin hardcover, reflect the heritage of the author, who, like myself, is Norwegian. I love the forward in the book in which she refers to the reason stories are so important. These tales all told about trolls are written beautifully for telling or reading, and the woodcut illustrations evoke just the rough hewn image required to help transport ourselves to a gentle time and place.
Buy this to read to others and yourself. It is a modern classic!
