I feel like I'm reading so many interesting and important books these days. This one was definitely not an exception. Seeing the world through Aibileen and Minny's eyes was truly exceptional, I was scared for them, angry at how they were being treated, disgusted by people. And I was impressed by the...
This is a book where coloured maids in 1963 are afraid to speak up. This is a book where they gain the courage to tell a white lady what actually happens inside their lives. No one is ready to hear the truth, everyone is scared for their future, but bravery is a strong attire to have, and the maids ...
I really disagree with people who say that The Help is cliché. I’m going to go as far as to say that it offends me when people call this a cliché. Because as someone who has been apart of discussions like the women in this book about racism, no one is a cliché. Maybe people are calling it a cliché b...
Here's another on the DNF pile. I just can't stand this. I know it's wildly popular, but that doesn't mean everyone will like it. And I fall in the minority.
Best sellers and I don't generally get along. This book has been sitting on shelf for years just staring me down, daring me to read it. I finally accepted the challenge. I was pleasantly surprised.

I sat for like 3 hours in the same spot on the couch when I should have been getting ready for bed and finished it. That's how good it was. Out of all the characters, I don't think I had ...
Told from three POV's, this book focuses on two black maids living in Mississippi during the 1960s and a young white woman. The first POV is an older black woman named Aibileen who is still mourning the son she lost a few years back. Aibileen is excellent with young children, but finds herself movin...
Thoroughly enjoyable read, even if my attention was drawn away by Game of Thrones halfway through ;-). I liked all of the characters' voices a lot - even Skeeter's, although I found her a little bit annoying in the beginning. The ending was lovely as well - painful and yet hopeful at the same time. ...
Blog Stories Review: http://storiesbooksandmovies.blogspot.it/2015/04/the-help-kathryn-stockett.html Da troppo tempo dovevo leggere questo libro. The Help è sempre stato in quella personale categoria di romanzi che tutti consigliano agli amici ma che purtroppo, per un motivo o per un altro, non ries...
