Flipper or Flippant?

Heidi Jane from Adventures in Bookland gave The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd a 4 out of 5 rating.

While over at Book Haven, Nyssaneala had a very different point of view.

Personally, I like this book. But, I had to get The Secret Life of Bees out of my head first. The comparison was driving me nuts.

This is my book talk if anyone is interested. I pretend to be the daughter.

I am reading the Mermaid Chair now...and half way through went and bought The Secret Life of Bees! Can't wait to read that one, too!

I just finished The Secret Life of Bees (for the challenge), and I'm now extremely anxious to get my mitts on The Mermaid Chair.

Is the doll thing a cake or a messed up Barbie?

Lana said...

the cake is awesome! I read both books and liked the secret life of bees much better.

Kelly & Debi, a slight forewarning the two books have only one thing in common, the author.

WW100 & TXMom, its a paper mache doll mounted on a wooden board. I found it googling "mermaid" and "wooden." It would make a great cake

I read The Secret Life of Bees and really liked it. I hope The Mermaid Chair is just as good!

You are very right, Maggie. The two books are very different and I think it helped me that I had put a little distance between reading the two books. I enjoyed both very much.
