You’ll probably like this book if you would have been the person with help. You probably won’t like this book if you would have been the help. If you’re in the mood for a feel good story about a mammy and the vapid white girl she’s forced to pretend she loves while her own child(ren) have no one to take care of them, watch Gone with the Wind and save yourself a few hours.

Before I begin with my complaints, I would like to say that this is one of my favorite books of all time. However, I did have a hard time understanding the point behind it all. I mean one second it’s telling you to kill John Lennon, the next it’s telling you to kill Ronald Reagan in order to impress Jodie Foster. Well, which is it? I suppose it’s possible that the book wanted me to kill both of them but if that’s the case then why not simply state it outright, instead of leaving it up to interpretation like it did?
Furthermore, now that both the people that the book instructs on killing are dead, it seems a little dated. Sure, it can be read as a coming-of-age-tale, but to do that you must read between the lines. I tried calling Mr. Salinger to have him clear it all up, but he wouldn’t answer. It turns out that in an effort to become even more reclusive, he’s died.
My favorite quotation from the book: “Kill John Lennon. Go ahead, you know you want to. Just do it.” A real example of classic prose, a skill that unfortunately seems to have been lost by many modern writers.
Overall, I give it five dead celebrities out of five.

I love new technology. I love books. A Kindle satisfies both desires. Choice of books is stunning – some are even free! Wonderful piece of electronic wizardry and now available in UK too. Patricia

Just received mine today. Had previously emailed the company wondering about a certain station in TX and whether it could be added (KPLX in DFW). The president of the Company Jake emailed me immediately and got the station included–going so far as to snap a photo of it with his cell camera and email it to me. Setup is easy, and it seems to be working just fine. Neat product and nice that there are no subscription fees to pay like on Sirius/XM (which we also do).
