I thought that Sue Monk Kidd added a lot of different critical issues into this book, like Civil Rights and also religion. She also brought in the fact of mother/daughter relationships and others.
Could she have done without the side stories and worked around the issue or were all the issues necessary??? What else would you have added/ how would you have changed the novel if it was yours??
What was your opinion about the book, good/bad what parts did you like and dislike???Michael L.

Her second fiction book, A Mermaid's Chair, has been made into a movie for Lifetime. And, as many of you have heard, Dakota Fanning is being slated to star as Lily in the 2009 release of the Bees movie version.

Personall, i think that the book was really good and i liked all of the little side stories and details. I think that they helped to tie up all of the loose ends. If i had to change one thing about the book though, i would probably change the ending. I feel like the book would have had a more effective and dramatic ending if it stopped at the part when T-Ray came. This seemed like the ultimate story line throughout the book that related to all the others. I felt the most connection to the characters at this point. Other than this, i really enjoyed the book and the way that Sue Monk Kidd wrote.

I thought that this was the best book we have read all year. It taught us a lot and was very interesting. I always wanted to keep reading and if the side stories were taken out the book probably would have been boring. i feel it would be to plan and you wouldn't want to keep reading. It was cool how everything was intertwined at the end. It made the book much more interesting. I thought the epilogues were very help full and were really cool. This was a great book and one of my favorites of the ones we have read.
