The author of “The Help” had good intentions in writing the book. Having lived in Mississippi for a while, much of what is in this book rings true. I was shocked the first time I saw a black maid being driven home in the back seat of a white man’s car. I won’t discuss the dialect issue other than to say I think the author blew it.

I get real tired of books that include things for shock value. The miscarriage, the naked man (who served no narrative purpose) and the pie, were all over the top and disappointing. While I lived in Mississippi shortly after the time period of the book, I found the people, black and white, to be very genteel. They never would have dreamed of using the offensive language found in the book. This is more a reflection of our current society than that of the ’60’s. I can hear some editor say to an author like Ms. Stockett, “You’ve got to liven this up.”

The issue of race and more so, the lack of concern for other human beings, are handled well in “The Help.” Slavery was still alive in well in the south in the 1960’s. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way. Ms. Stockett needs to come along with it. Shock for the sake of shock may sell a first book, but I wouldn’t be interested in her second.

This furminator is very efficient and removes an amazing (and sort of disgusting) amount of cat hair. My cats normally hate being brushed but love the furminator. They purr and rub their faces against it. This size furminator is just fine for cats – I wouldn’t get the smaller one (the “for cats” purple one) because you’d have to do twice the number of strokes.

Negative reviews of other furminators say the comb is too sharp and it is possible to brush the cats bald and/or bloody. I think this is ludicrous. You’d have to attack your cat with the comb for this to happen.

The one negative aspect of furminators is that you must do long strokes to collect the cat hair, so you will never remove hair in certain areas. The cats themselves are perfectly capable of taking care of that hair themselves. If used once a week should result in hairball elimination.
