I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn’t wait to share it with others. All of my friends who’ve read it, love it as well. As you can tell from the near 5 star consensus from reviewers, this is a wonderful book, so I don’t really need to go into a long drawn out review, but I will say that I loved the rich, interesting characters who felt like old friends by the end of the book and the story was engrossing and lovely – a true love story between lovers, between friends and between man and beast. And the total immersion into another world and time was just a bonus. You can’t go wrong with this book!

The Defender is a great product and offers a much higher level of protection than any other case I’ve seen, but it’s not foolproof. I have probably dropped my iphone about 20 times since got it in Nov. However, on Christmas eve I had it laying in my lap and stood up. My iphone dropped to the tile floor and when I picked it up the LCD screen was white with blue and red lines running the length of the screen on the right side. I took it to a repair shop and had to have the screen replaced. I too have the oil slick issue but its not a big deal to me. The biggest problem is the reason that I have dropped it so much is that every time I have it in the belt clip and happen to bump the belt clip even with my arm or hand the phone will fall out of the clip. Since the screen replacement and the belt clip issue I just carry it in my pocket. I work construction and have pretty much ruined or broken every phone I’ve had, but thought that this case would maybe help this one survive. Sorry folks but the jury is still out.

I loved this story of 3 women, 2 African-American maids and one White plantation owner’s daughter whose commonalities prevail over their seeminly unpenetrable differences. Taking place in Jackson, Mississippi during the early sixties, Stockett weaves her story so that even if you were as far removed as possible from any of her characters lives, you still felt a glimpse of what it must have been like for them in some small way. I cheered for the three of them because in spite of what they risked, they were so inherently focused on what was right that nothing could stop them. I can’t help but think that this book was in some way, a tribute to all those stories of putting fear and retribution aside and taking a stand for what was right, race be damned. Stockett herself said that she wrote this book as a tribute to her own beloved childhood maid.
