The book I'm reading is "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett
The first two lines of the story:
"Mae Mobley was born on a early Sunday morning in August 1960. A church baby we like to call it."
The first two lines didn't really grab me but, after hearing so much about the book, I had to continue. I also wondered if the editor missed correcting, 'a early' or was it purposely left that way.
I enjoyed the book, but I loved the movie more...maybe because it was easier to understand the spoken dialect over the written one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing....
Here's MY FRIDAY MEMES POST and
MY WEBSITE
I'm like you. I keep hearing about the book and the movie. I need to pick the book up as I prefer reading to watching.
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't know you were blogging again. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Help right now. I'm half way through it and like it a lot.
Glad to see you on Book Beginnings Susan. The Help is on my wishlist but so far I haven't gotten around to it. I like the opening lines a lot.
