First I have the Nook,and i cannot say enough about it!I just LOVE this device!
They have the NOOK COLOR which sounds great,but I really prefer the E INK for my eyes.The Nook Color would be great for kids though!!In my opinion :)
I am reading a sort of books.I have a goal of doing 80 books this year on this message board.
Amazon.com: The Help (9780399155345): Kathryn Stockett: Books
I have to talk about this book called "THE HELP" which I found fascinating!If you haven't read it,I highly recommend it!This book talks about "THE HELP" who happen to be African American women who worked for "white women" in Jackson,Mississippi.
This is the best book I have read in years! I can't recommend it enough! It is fabulous and I think they will make a movie out of it. I would compare it to the writings of Carson McCullers, Harper Lee, Truman Capote and even Margaret Mitchell. The story grabs you and doesn't let you go. You can smell the melted tar on the Mississippi roads, the toil in the cotton fields, the grits burning on the stove. The theme is the indomitable will of human beings to survive against all odds - because of the color of their skin. It is a heart-wrenching account and you will never fondly remember the times of the Jim Crow laws (if you ever did). The pure, down and out bitchery of the white ladies who become dissatisfied with their maids and proceed to ruin their lives is portrayed vividly. The desperation of the maids' circumstances is truly touching. I have laughed and cried my way through this book and plan to re-read it. I highly recommend this book because it is going to be talked about as the best book of the year.
Do yourself a favor,Go to the library,or your overdrive.com and plug in the nook and get THE HELP.At BARNES & NOBLES I believe it was 11.00$ worth every penny!!!!
FIVE STARS *****
