I'm saving your review!<br /><br />The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. - I loved this book. It wasn't something I would have picked up on my own, so glad my book club read it. Now to see the movie.<br /><br />The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson. - Which version - American or Swedish? The Swedish movies were great, so I read the books and enjoyed them thoroughly. Haven't seen the American ones yet, though.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602598967802992823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182012989603327313.post-19063840512522018632012-02-14T09:00:25.153-05:002012-02-14T09:00:25.153-05:00I don't think that the fiction is so much abou...I don't think that the fiction is so much about converting folks to Christianity as it is about continuing to brainwash the current followers. Those of us who do not subscribe to those views would not pick up one of those books unless accidentally, so it really is about keeping the flock in the dark, IMHO.<br /><br />As always, thank you for another enlightening review!chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602598967802992823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182012989603327313.post-27793548416158851292012-02-04T12:16:20.086-05:002012-02-04T12:16:20.086-05:00I picked this for a Book Club thinking it would be...I picked this for a Book Club thinking it would be a fun, light, chic lit read. Then I realized, like you, that it was Christian Fiction. Ok, I'll keep reading, maybe its light-hearted Christian fiction. Then I got to the hate filled part you discuss in your blog post-if you look at it another way, the author is saying Gay and Lesbians who have relationships are possible child-molesters, since it is only ok to have chaste christian gays around our children. Disgusting. The book club has decided to continue reading it as it could create good discussion--I only hope I can keep my lunch down while I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182012989603327313.post-16960603330520390102012-01-04T23:10:35.727-05:002012-01-04T23:10:35.727-05:00Thanks for stopping by!

In the book, she gets really angry with him for suggesting that he won't make it out, and I hope that's not an early warning sign that she'll be a wimpier character in the movie. Also, I still think Robert Downey, Jr. would have made an awesome Haymitch.
