Oo...Jimmy, thought of you when I got to that part.<br /><br />Oooh, Kim, also try "Boy in the Striped Pajamas." <br /><br />Jess, you'll love "The Help." Yep, I'm totally holding us up. :P I'm reading TGC now (but where are your notes?!?).Boquinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365252326911270689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847226686813011212.post-46522155747590155532011-11-18T18:15:13.272-05:002011-11-18T18:15:13.272-05:00Liked Water for Elephants, but don't remember ...Liked Water for Elephants, but don't remember loving it.<br /><br />Haven't read the Help yet, but want to.<br /><br />I was wondering what the hold up was on the SIL books. ;) The last one I read was The Glass Castle. Which was haunting. <br /><br />Still a fan of Book Thief. Not only did I like the unique narrative perspective, but it was a new perspective of looking at the Holocaust.

I had a hard time with The Help, mainly due to the "Southern" language. I am trying to read The Book Thief right now, I am having a hard time with it, mainly because it seems a little disconnected to me. I think as far has reading about the holocaust I will stick with Night by Elie Wiesel.Jagged Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06444377681248158466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847226686813011212.post-15991389888881053002011-10-28T14:59:15.178-04:002011-10-28T14:59:15.178-04:00The Book Thief stuck with me,one scene in particul...The Book Thief stuck with me,one scene in particular, when the Jews are being marched through the streets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847226686813011212.post-22160593776217307592011-10-27T09:28:23.417-04:002011-10-27T09:28:23.417-04:00And, I should add, I WANT to like it, but UGH.And, I should add, I WANT to like it, but UGH.Boquinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365252326911270689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847226686813011212.post-2751014238350259352011-10-27T09:28:09.714-04:002011-10-27T09:28:09.714-04:00That's exactly how I'm feeling about The B...That's exactly how I'm feeling about The Book Thief at the moment . . . it's got rave reviews on Amazon, but I find myself agreeing more with the 1-star reviews myself.Boquinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365252326911270689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847226686813011212.post-18979941432421743732011-10-24T18:13:30.508-04:002011-10-24T18:13:30.508-04:00IMO The Book Thief is way overrated because the co...IMO The Book Thief is way overrated because the concept is so good.
