"There is nothing perfect," August said from the doorway. "There is only life."There may be nothing perfect in this world, as suggested by August, one of the characters in the book, but I believe The Secret Life Of Bees is as close to perfect as one can get, in my opinion.

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.

Mr. Amazing?...that you would wish a painful death on the author of a book because you simply didn't happen to enjoy it is, well, concerning to say the least. If you're "sense of literary value" is so superior then maybe you should be writing the no.1 best sellers! I'd like to see how well you could do compared to this masterpiece. I'm not saying you should like the book, but you shouldn't be as rude insulting to someone who many look up to...
