I purchased the DVD  and the book of the Help.  Neither the book or the DVD appealed to me. 

 

I gave the DVD to a co-worker.   I disliked the book so much I would not donate it.  Instead I tore the pages and actually burnt the book.

 

I do remember laughing at Minny's ingredient for her chocolate pie.

If you didn't like the book, how come you listened to the DVD? (or vice versa).

It truly hurts my heart @Judaline to read about a book being "burned", even if it is one I do not like or agree with.  Just does not sit right with me.

I know! I really have no words-at least none I can say here.

Same thoughts. Very odd reaction to reading a book, even one that was disliked.

I find tearing the pages out and burning a book you don't like, is a very odd overreaction.

 

I enjoyed the film and I have the book, but haven't gotten around to reading it.  Now I'll read it with urgency!

 

I'll let you know, if I decide to burn it.  SMH.  Woman Surprised
