Camie asked this question about Ruby:
Are there others out there who ( like me ) think Oprah really got it wrong with this endorsement ?

The book, while full of dark situations and issues, is beautifully written. I think that the fact that some people can't get through it speaks to how well its written (people are complaining about the subject matter, now how it's written). She makes you vividly see and hear things with her prose. I know some ppl are put off by the prostitution of children, but she's the LEAST explicit in those moments. Inferring what is going on but not being perverse. (less)
