I struggled with this book from the very first pages because of the horrible mis-handling of Southern African-American vernacular. My next struggle was with editorial lapses such as proper placement of cultural and historical references, but overall, I get the book and its intention to show the common humanity of the characters, but I felt offended by an author who didn’t or couldn’t create 3-dimensional characters as I understand them.

It surprised me that this book made it to the bestseller list. To me, it seemed weak in its character and story development. I think though that readers who rated this book highly are typically people looking to understand a culture or viewpoint with which they are unfamiliar and this book made that culture/viewpoint accessible even if it’s not a depiction that rings true to those of us who come out of the culture.

Further on the topic of vernacular, I found it noteworthy that only the Black characters in the book spoke in a vernacular even though various Southern dialects are well known and widely used in literature of and about the South. The way that language was used just made me cringe. ‘Law’, please save me from an author who seems to have stumbled upon two or three elements of speech and then repeated them ad naseaum.

I did not enjoy reading this book and I definitely did not feel that it was a fully dimensional charcterization of African American domestic workers but I appreciate that it creates the opportunity for dialogue.

In need of an HDMI cable and don’t want to shell out the cash for one that will do exactly the same thing? You got it right here! I currently have this hdmi cable connected to my Panasonic Vierra TC-L32S1 HDTV and my Panasonic BD-60 blu ray player and it works flawlessly! For the price you can’t go wrong… The prongs seem to be durable and who would need to keep unplugging it anyways? For this price buy all the hdmi cables you need for all your devices and don’t worry about switching cables around.

I new the iPod touch was cool, but it has exceeded my expectations. There are so many fun ways to use it. The one disappointment is the shiny metalic case. It shows every single fingerprint and smudge. The screen has the same issue. To resolve that, I bought a non-reflective screen protector and a very nice hardcase. I would recommend the iPod to anyone.

I bought this scale because my husband and I are on a diet, and wanted a scale that was easy to read, and one that was digital. This scale is just wonderful – not only is it beautiful to look at, which means that you don’t need to hide it, but it is so convenient and easy to use. Once you get on, it only takes a couple of seconds to let you know how much you weigh. Now it’s fun losing weight!!

Once again, gilding the lily, but this book should get 5 stars overall. So that is why I am rating it. I could not put this book down. The honest, no-nonsense style of writing is compelling and addicting. When I finished it, like my youth, I was melancholy that it was over.
