Cable does exactly what it is suppose to do. Got it a couple of years ago when I purchased a surround sound system so it was pretty much a freebie.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The book was, for the most part, great. I absolutely loved Aibileen and fell in love with both her and little Mae Mobly. The scenes between them were one of my favorites. Stockett does an excellent job of capturing the maternal love that Aibileen feels and she effortlessly brings Mae Mo to life. Reading these portions, my arms often ached to hold my own little munchkin (I usually read at work and thus my little guy is not around to hug). The 2nd maid, Minny, also leaps off of the pages and her story line with the crazy Celia is incredibly entertaining. Now, if the rest of the book was like this, I would have given the book 5 stars but unfortunately, I didn’t find Skeeter’s character to be nearly as believable or fleshed out as Minny and Aibileen. Now, this is curious given the fact that Skeeter is the white protagonist and Stocket, the author, is white. But for some reason, Stockett is able to produce ridiculously warm, rich and REAL black characters but her attempt to create a white protagonist falls flat. Skeeter is one-dimensional and really, not all that likeable, if I stop to think about it. In essense, she steals Treelore’s idea in order to further her own career and she never really has a moment of revelation. Its almost as if Stockett tells us that Skeeter is good but doesn’t really show us that she is and I found that a little hard to swallow. Stockett’s treatment of Skeeter is curiously detached and I found myself wishing that Skeeter was as fleshed out as the maids in the book. Other than that, I found the book to be immensely entertaining and thought-provoking. I’m embarrassed to admit that it was only when I started reading this book that I realized how horribly Blacks were treated not that long ago. I always assumed that after slavery ended, life wasn’t THAT bad for black people. But this book takes place in the 60s — not that long ago. So I started doing research and realized Jim Crow laws were

This thing installs very easily. It is universal and does not make your bike look stupid. I have been nearly 100% more dry since I installed this. I really can’t think of a better accessory to add to your bike if you ever are forced to ride in the rail… so… get it!

As soon as I started reading this book I was hooked. If someone hadn’t recommended it to me I probably wouldn’t have read it (I’m not really interested in circuses). However, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about a depression-era circus and about what happens behind the scenes. Very fascinating as many things in this book are from true stories. Written very vividly, I could picture each person clearly as well as everything that was happening. I totally recommend it!!!
