I am not a big reader and do not have a favorite book but of the books that I have read, The Sceret Life of Bees written by Sue Monk Kidd was one that I enjoyed reading from beginning to end. I enjoyed the book because of the setting of the book, the characters, and the meassages that are protrayed. Another reason why I enjoyed the book is because of the way in which the black female is portrayed. In the book Sue Monk Kidd has four black women that serve as the main characters and each of them is unique in some way, and none of them are chacacterized by the "sterotypical black woman". I felt good reading this book and having such strong, independent and determined women as the main focus.
It is obvious that Sue Monk Kidd is the author of the book, but besides her I believe that many others are authors such as: the readers, the people that turned the book into a movie, the laws and politics of the time period when the book was written in, and critics of both Sue Monk Kidd and the many issues that are raised throughout the book.
