I have a feeling that this novel is really semi-autobiographical.. I think the author plays the role of Skeeter in the novel. What was written, had to be written.. Hope to see more books by Kathryn Stockett in the future

It’s a good watch, well built; the black dial helps make it more readable. The image on the website is a bit matte, but the actual watch is a bit more shiny (a minus in my view), and the dial is too crowded with too many little white and red markers.
The digital part is a plus, but not very usable (to me at least).

This vacuum serves the purpose. It actually pulls me across the floor while vacuuming, but I’ve adjusted to that. Like other have said the hose serves no purpose because its way to short to reach anything. Overall a good buy though.

I ordered this vacuum, believing that it had a headlight and a full bag indicator light as was shown in the product information. When I received the vacuum it had neither the headlight or the full bag indicator light. It looks like a much cheaper version of the vacuum represented in the advertisement. The vacuum works fine, but I still feel as though I have been ripped off, by false representation.

As a previous Pathfinder owner, I passed my original Pathfinder on to a relative and purchased this new model. Everything was as expected with one MAJOR PROBLEM. I like using the hourly signal and the alarm setting. YOU CAN NOT HEAR EITHER CHIME TONE, NOT THE HOURLY OR ALARM. Granted, it does work, if you are holding it to your ear. I called Casio support and they told me that there was no volume adjust. My previous Pathfinder, even with the watch under my jacket sleeve, the hourly signal and alarm chime could be heard. The chime on this model is useless. I am very disappointed. If the volume can be adjusted on other models, why not on this one??

The author of “The Help” had good intentions in writing the book. Having lived in Mississippi for a while, much of what is in this book rings true. I was shocked the first time I saw a black maid being driven home in the back seat of a white man’s car. I won’t discuss the dialect issue other than to say I think the author blew it.

I get real tired of books that include things for shock value. The miscarriage, the naked man (who served no narrative purpose) and the pie, were all over the top and disappointing. While I lived in Mississippi shortly after the time period of the book, I found the people, black and white, to be very genteel. They never would have dreamed of using the offensive language found in the book. This is more a reflection of our current society than that of the ’60’s. I can hear some editor say to an author like Ms. Stockett, “You’ve got to liven this up.”

The issue of race and more so, the lack of concern for other human beings, are handled well in “The Help.” Slavery was still alive in well in the south in the 1960’s. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way. Ms. Stockett needs to come along with it. Shock for the sake of shock may sell a first book, but I wouldn’t be interested in her second.

It’s one of those rare books that is impossible to put down but after it’s over, you feel like you learned a lot.

I’m going to give away as little as possible about the storyline because I don’t want to ruin anything, so I’ll just give you a little background information. It is about the traveling circus back in the Great Depression Era and offers you a glimpse of a fantasy life that you’d never imagine on your own. She did tons and tons of research on circuses back then so everything is extremely realistic and she covers topics that have always interested me (like prohibition, speakeasies, and the intelligence of animals). To make the book even more relevant to readers today, she weaves the past in with the present to create a masterful story that you’ll remember for years to come.

A lot of times, after I finish reading a book I’ll forget how it ended in just a few months… not in this case though, the ending gave me goosebumps and I’ll always remember it vividly.
