THIS, my friends, is the best book that I have read in years. Undoubtedly my new favorite book, part of my love may stem from the fact that I'm a little homesick for Alabama (and good Southern cooking) myself, but I'm honestly convinced that this is just a really damn good book. While it dealt with many important and otherwise heavy topics including (but not limited to) gender, sexuality, race, privelage, poverty, and death, it did so in such a way that was an absolute joy to read. The tone of the novel is unmistakenly Southern: honey-sweet, down to earth, witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and unafraid to tell it like it is, whatever that may be.

Дуже затишна історія для відпочинку. Книга освітлює багато важливих тем, як от расизм, фемінізм, аб'юз, доброта, самопожертва, прийняття себе. Чудова книга для саморефлексії.

I enjoyed the film as a kid, but the book fell flat for me. The characters, the setting and the plots are all likeable but the way it’s written meant there was too much going on. Too many time periods, too many perspectives and the newspaper excerpts made it feel disjointed so I couldn’t get stuck into one long enough. Just the two time periods with the stories in order would have been better. I felt a bit bored.
