The Help by Kathryn Stockett ...

The Help


Started 15/11/2011 -  finished 26/11/2011

Really enjoyed this book, written in the language style that the characters spoke which took a little bit of getting use to but really enjoyed it. Will be interested to see the film on day.

Mr Rosenblum Dreams in English


Started 31/10/2011 - 12/11/2011

I enjoyed this book although at a few points I thought it dragged on a little. It centred around the Jewish Mr Rosenblum and his wife after their move to England from Germany and his successes and trials.

It was definitely a similar style to  Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson and  The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Anne Shaffer & Annie Barrows (as was written on the cover of the copy I read).
