Title: folks are being a little harsh.....
Review: I read the Secret Life of Bees back when everyone else did, and based on the bad press for The Mermaid Chair, I bought it, but let it sit on my shelf for many years. I finally took it down and read it, and while I will agree that is was no Secret Life of Bees, I thought that it was pretty good. It is not an uncommon tale, although I am not that far from the main characters age, and I would not have conducted my life as she did, I know some women who would and who would handle the situation as she did. A quick and light read. Not so sure as to the reason for all the outrage. It's just fiction, people.
Is the review positive or negative?
