I grew up in the deep south just over the state line in Alabama, so knew this story all too well, even a decade later in the 70's.Jaye Robin Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929739858812153990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-15075015126943548202011-10-09T11:18:44.384-07:002011-10-09T11:18:44.384-07:00Dreaming - I was afraid I wouldn't like the mo...Dreaming - I was afraid I wouldn't like the movie, but it's one of the best adaptations to the screen that I've ever seen.<br /><br />Patti - Yes, do try again and let me know what you think after you get past the first chapters!

I've heard SO much about the movie and seen some of the characters being interviewed and know I'll love it. I just have to start the book again and someone told me once if I read the first few chapters I won't be able to put it down.<br />Thanks for the nudge!<br />PattiPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512099085568969698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-42771566130201617772011-10-09T07:33:13.390-07:002011-10-09T07:33:13.390-07:00I read the book and loved it.

Scary how close his stories are to Stockett's book. We've come a long way!<br />I must go watch the movie! Thanks for the recommendation!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-63915876633699412962011-10-08T18:18:15.359-07:002011-10-08T18:18:15.359-07:00No, not a box of kleenex.
