The topic of Civil Rights in the U.S. is vast, complex, and ongoing. To write a fictionalized story of the impact of this movement is no small matter. Certainly an author can write about any one of numerous aspects of this movement, but Kathryn Stockett has taken a fascinating approach. In the characters in this small town, both white and black, Stockett has recreated the world that was during the Jim Crow laws and given us real insight into how real people interacted and regarded each other. It would seem that in this insular society that change would not come as quickly as it did, but the author demonstrated how little changes, little nuances, have added up to produce a major shift in society. To me this novel was not as much about the specifics of the individual characters as it was about this perceptible shift in the relations between blacks and whites.

The book was well written, the characters well drawn, and I feel she accomplished her purpose. RecommendedThe Help

This is my second G-Shock watch, and it was exactly what I expected. It is a high end sport watch. I bought this because I kill nice watches (at least the ones that can be had for $100 or less), but the G-Shocks appear to stand the abuse of spending 8 hours a day on my wrist at work with no complaints. Except for a brief period after daylight savings time starts, its always accurate due to the atomic clock signal. Even the bands are specially made to be tougher than normal (which is why I’ve never broken one, a rarity for me if not a miracle), the huge (and kind of ugly) rubber-over-metal bumper keeps the face from getting scratched which is good for me as well. This is also a solar powered watch, and my last one is still going strong after more than 4 years, so I can safely say battery life is excellent. The analog display is easy to read day and night, but the extra light is an old pre-indiglo type. I don’t really use all the extra bells and whistles, and it’s still a little drab looking. On the whole though, its nicer than many sport watches, and won’t break.

I admit, when this book first recieved its crazed hype and was announced to be produced into a feature film, I did not intend to read it. Me being already smack dab in the middle of another vampire series, I looked at this book and wondered if this was one of the best vampire/romance books ever written, considering its popularity. Also because of the fact that my mother (who could easily pass as a Twilight mom) read the book and absolutely loved it, telling me it was “right up my alley”. Thinking to myself, what’s a girl to do, I decided to dig in to the action.

As you already know, Twilight is about a clumsy, insecure 17 year-old girl who reluctantly decides to part from her mother in Phoenix to spend time with her dad in a rainy town of Forks, Washington. After many anxious days at her new school, she eventually develops a deep infatuation with a mysterious, beautiful vampire named Edward Cullen.

I will say that I did not enjoy this book when I first started reading it, which is surprising for a 14 year old girl to say. This book’s audience is mainly teenage girls, and after reading it I can ssee why. Book 1 mostly centers around Bella’s love for Edward, which is probably why the suspense doesn’t start until the end of the book. It’s buildup isn’t all for the big finale at the end, its also to remind the readers how much Bella cares for Edward, and would even put herself in life-threatening danger to be with him.

When I first started reading this book, I behaved just like a Twilight hater would. I thought Bella was a snobby, self-centered brat who only cared for Edward and his mind-blowing beauty. When you take this book too seriously, that’s kind of how it looks. I stopped reading it until many months later I decided to start from the beginning and read the book all the way, having some strange itch to explore more into the story. After getting past all the annoying remarks of Edward being perfect and gorgeous, I have to say I really enjoyed it.

I owned a Forerunner 205 before purchasing the 305. I didn’t think I would use the heart rate monitor but since my purchase I use it on a regular basis. The only problem I have with the heart rate monitor it that I have a hard time viewing the heart rate while running. It is quite small and I usually were prescription sunglasses that don’t have the bifocal in them. Other than that I have not experienced any difficulties (I even run trails without a hitch).

I purchased a book which was listed “new condition”. The book had stains all over the cover and there were many, many hi-lited areas in red marker throughout the book. I’m very disappointed!

I bought this vacuum cleaner for my in-laws and the woman who cleans for them. I based my selection on weight, style, price and brand. They are very pleased with it.

I purchased the Kindle a month ago and have read 3 books so far. It makes my life easy since we travel a lot and I can download the books and have them at my disposal at anytime. It’s also much easier to drag around than the books! The only problem I’ve had was that the “Previous Page” button stopped working, but Amazon was great in replacing the Kindle.
