The Help is a remarkable first novel by a very clever and observant young woman. It begins in the voice of an African-American woman who works as a maid for a white woman in 1960’s Mississippi. The dialect is right on, and the chapters
add on more characters with very credible stories. It is group of tales of bigotry, told in many voices. The tension builds for the reader, who turns the pages breathlessly to see whether the women’s stories will ever survive to see
the light of day. All Americans need to read this book!

I have seen ads for 6′ HDMI connectors for as much as $50.00! Why? I did considerable research on this type of connector, and all said that the cheapest work as well as the most expensive. So why a $46.00 difference? The Gullibility Factor! Some people just think that if you pay 12+ times as much for something it must be 12+ times better…and they don’t bother to check! I have used this product since the day it arrived and it works flawlessly: I mean, there’s not much “tech” to sending a signal from one end of a wire to the other end…as long as the wire’s intact!

I saw the movie before reading the book and then decided to read all 4 books! The’re are way too many good scenes and details missed in the movie. You must read this book.

Salinger’s catcher in the rye was shoved down so many of our throats as an adolescent, like so many others in that genre of so called ‘classics’ like Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies, The Great Gatsby, etc. It took me many re-readings of these so called greats after being able to read them on my own free will, and understand them in my own time, in my own environment, when I was motivated to read that particular subject in a situation that needed it in my life. However I will never fully understand or grasp the grand significance of such a work of fiction, used still in many frosh classes even in the most prestigious of schools, where in today’s market, Rowling’s epic worlds are filled with enough word salad for literature professeurs to salivate over. I found the writing trite, unmotivating, and save the lack of a better word, pretty boring. I remember reading the inserts on ‘A Seperate Piece’ and one of the reviewers called the book one of the most disturbing endings in literature. I still laugh today about that, as I thought A Seperate Piece was excrement, and compare them both to the overhauling of American so-called classics.

Salinger’s book is never a recommendation to any youth that crosses my path. I’d much rather place in their grasp ‘On the Road,’ ‘Farewell To Arms’ or Henry Miller, or a more modern touch of ‘A Perks of Being a Wallflower’ or ‘Everything is Illuminated’, rather than the disgustingly and unnecessarily warranted kudos this book continues to achieve.

I know this review is a little over a year late but that’s only because I’ve been too busy playing with this Wii system. I do remember it being fast shipping and on time for Christmas. Thank you!!!

Got this scale based on reviews. It arrived in good shape and worked as expected for just about two months. Then kaput. No reading, or inaccurate reading, or err message, but not my weight. I tried taking out the batteries and then replacing batteries, didn’t help.

UPDATE.
To five stars for customer service. After posting this review I was contacted by an EatSmart Digital Scale representative telling me that they would like to replace my defective scale. As I was busy at work I did not respond for a few days. When I did I got an immediate reply saying that a new scale had already been shipped to me. I received it today. This is stellar customer service. The new scale works fine. I will update, if needed in the future. For now I am totally pleased.
