I enjoyed The help, and I think it will be a book that stays with me. Not due to it being fantastically written, or earth shattering but because of it's easy-reading nature and the mark it leaves on you. It isn't a hard going book. You can race through it or pick it up and put it down with ease. ...

Read this for work. I'd managed to avoid it for months, suspecting it would not be my sort of book, on the very real claim that we are always sold out and so can't spare copies for employees.

I don't know if it deserved as much as of the hype that it got. Or maybe I was lost inside the hype. That said I liked the book, but didn't love it. I didn't hate it either. It just dragged a bit in the second half. The premise and the story itself is awesome though. Originally posted on GR in Jan...
"...it was like something cracked open inside of me, not unlike a watermelon, cool and soothing and sweet. I always thought insanity would be a dark bitter feeling, but it is drenching and delicious if you really roll around in it." I love this. Really I want to give this 3.5*, but that's jus...
Loved every minute of this book. Opened my eyes to a world I was unaware of. Beautifully written - plot, characters, history. All wonderful. Highly recommend.
This book will make you think about many, many things.I purposefully didn't watch the movie so that I could focus on the book.The Help is all about life in the U.S. when coloring was still a very, very.. and I MEAN VERY important for ranking people. After reading this, I became even more thankful th...
