I have very mixed emotions about her and I'm not ready to spend that much time in her head right now. The book's success doesn't surprise me because her supporters feel very, very strongly about her.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-45355212019277971392010-03-27T16:13:08.042-05:002010-03-27T16:13:08.042-05:00I don't know "The Help," y'all.....I don't know "The Help," y'all...sounds like I should at least take a look at it to see if it's something I want to read.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-7430607939362147382010-03-27T16:12:02.949-05:002010-03-27T16:12:02.949-05:00John, you know, it's hard not to be a snob whe...John, you know, it's hard not to be a snob when you see these lists.

I dislike his legal thrillers and don't fool with them anymore, but I've enjoyed several of his other books.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-4410559198954959432010-03-27T11:30:26.880-05:002010-03-27T11:30:26.880-05:00I'm glad to see Going Rogue on the list.

And why only black dialect? All southerners speak in dialect!<br /><br />I never read Grisham, but FORD COUNTY was so different.

However, I have read "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett and loved the book. (It is the only one of the "Top Ten" that I've read.
