  • Katie Couric has always bugged the living shit out of me. She always has a condescending, f&%^ you tone to her interviews. It's like she's not really interested. 

  • She seems so smart, sassy. Her voice is so calm. I read the book and watch the movie. They are truly amazing. I am not American and for me it was very interesting ro read about this part of the history of USA. Thank you, Mrs. Stockett!

  • @blognewb I don't think she was trying to expolit Ablene, you could say that about soooo many books and films. The legal system was followed correctly, however I think Ablene should get an annonymous check and hopefully that will make her happy cause I think her most real intent was to get some financial gain from the whole thing, not to stop the book which had been out for 2 years, I believe, already. Her story is probably very much the same as many others. Just some thoughts!

  • Isn't it nice that Vernon's voice is so eloquent? Condescending '@&*$!

  • In the end who cares. This isnt the first time someone has something on someone else, although it is a shame that the judge threw that womans case out.. but this is America. The only reason why this country is even relevant in the world is because of its bullying and tyranny. Many more people and countries are constantly being exploited by this government at the expense of blacks, whites, asians etc... so whats new?>

  • having seen the glorious movie- one listens to ms stockett for honesty re the problems of rae and class

    one does not hear it

  • when u tell the truth, the ones who dont speak to u, arent worth your time.

  • I am presently reading this book I find it very enjoyable so far. I Write and I would not use a person or a real life experience without the permission (written) of the subject. She must do her research before publishing. Great Book Though.

  • @adelina2686 I am sorry I wanted to write classy. )))))))))))
