I could envision every movement and conversation in this story as being a real-life, unfortunate event. Sadly, this bird's-eye view has probably occurred many times over.
I had The Help on my wish list because of your review ;) I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDanielle ~ Oh! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did - I can't imagine you won't. :) Yes, my Christmas was wonderful. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Grisham's collection of short stories. I'm anxious to see what you think of the book as a whole.
ReplyDeleteAny good challenges to participate in 2010?????? Now that I have quit my counseling job I will have more time to READ!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Book Year, Joy...thanks so much for all your reviews. I'm reading them and striving to learn how to keep my word count down but still meaningful! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLes ~ I'm fairly certain I'll enjoy this collection as I enjoy his work as a whole. I just need the time to read it. I'm happy to hear that you've heard good things about it.
ReplyDeleteDanielle ~ Wow! How exciting to open up some time to read. :) I have done the opposite - got a full-time job and have NO time for leisure reading! Here's a link to find a challenge or two: A Novel Challenge
Bybee ~ Happy New Year to you, too! I just post my thoughts to help me remember what the book was about and what I liked or didn't like about it. I'm not trying to be prolific or provide details. Some people love long reviews, so just do what YOU like! :) There's no right or wrong.
