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.

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.

"...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...

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...

I had avoided reading this for a variety of reasons, but primarily because I assumed that its popularity rendered it unworthy of my attention. Forgive me for my foolish snobbery because this is an absorbing tale of bravery and self-actualization. The three memorable women who narrate this novel are ...
