I didn't like this book at all, it was okay, but to me it wasn't as good as you thought it was.

The whole idea that the book is so good that only a particular gender has the ability to comprehend its goodness is retarded. The characters weren't realistic at all, the setting wasn't realistic and it's hard to feel sympathy for a lying, stealing protaganist. Just because a book takes place in the South during 1964 doesn't automatically make it a classic. It's not a classic, it's an, unrealistic saccharine tale that's designed to get Oprah Book Club endorsements.

This book wasn't great, but it wasn't awful either, mediocre at best. I was assigned to read it for a project during my sophomore year of high school and to do a project on it (fun, fun). The whole "Lily shot her mom" thing seems a bit unrealistic to me. As many times as i've gone over it in my head, how she could pick up the gone, point it at her mom enough for it to be deadly, then somehow squeeze the trigger after all that time is just beyond me.

This book does indeed suck major ass. It could not be worse if it was packaged with live killer African hornets. I would not recommend this book to my worst enemy. I hope Sue Monk Kidd (what the hell kinda name is that anyway?) chokes on her own self-inflated sense of literary value and dies a horrible death like every character in this pathetic excuse of a book deserves to.

For you who think this book is "horrible" that is a rather dense comment for I noticed the comments are placed by males I think you are very dim- witted in the sense that you dont understand the empowering of women and the strength and confidence that women need and get from this book. I overall love this book. It is very inspiring and truthful to the women mind and it's fast paced which is something I look forward to in books. I am but fourteen and think this book shook be passed on forever. I award Sue Monk Kidd ********** (10) stars.
