I have just downloaded a sample of The Help onto my Kindle, and so far I'm enjoying it, but I'm already having trouble with the treatment of 'the help.'Alyssa Goodnighthttp://alyssagoodnight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-25354238703670600742011-12-08T07:20:40.007-05:002011-12-08T07:20:40.007-05:00I think you would like it, Ron.I think you would like it, Ron.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-40606606402738061162011-12-07T22:44:48.869-05:002011-12-07T22:44:48.869-05:00Thanks for this one, Patti.

You can call it regional fiction, but its capacity for what used to be called "Gothic" is just more deeply mainstream American than we've liked to admit.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-40663865010142833732011-12-07T12:54:39.007-05:002011-12-07T12:54:39.007-05:00Sounds good and real.

Interesting that you mention "The Help." It's on tap for our weekend viewing, my wife having read it. I appreciate books that are hard, but stay with you. Didn't know about this one.Scott D.

"The Kitchen House" is good, but much more disturbing than "The Help" (it takes place in early 1800's). I need to read something upbeat for awhile now.<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying "Started Early"--I loved it!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-12253542480491074712011-12-07T07:42:04.382-05:002011-12-07T07:42:04.382-05:00Patti - This sounds like such a real, authentic st...Patti - This sounds like such a real, authentic story! And definitely like a story that stays with one. Thanks for sharing it.
