OK, you're right. Everyone. This is truly a great book, and the audio edition of it is superlative. The anger I felt at how petty and bitchy the white women of this book were, the sadness and admiration I felt for the black maids, the heartache for and pride in Skeeter I felt - they were physical.

Loved, loved, loved this book!!!! I so enjoyed all the characters ... even the very unlikable ones!
Wow. Wow. I watched the movie. I don't know why it took me so long to read it. This was so good. Amazing! I nearly cried the entire time I was reading it.

I haven't had a whole lot of extra time for reading this year. I picked up The Help after having it recommended by a co-worker. I'm so glad I picked it up.

Skeeter Phelan wants to be a writer and after talking to an editor in New Y ork she decides to write a book about black maids in her community. I really liked the maids Aibileen and Minny but didn't really care about Skeeter which stopped me from giving this book a higher rating.

Well. It turned out way better than I thought it would. At first the language got to me, but I quickly overcame it. I found myself feeling for everyone in the story. A must read for everyone, especially in this day and age.
I absolutely loved this book... it was beautifully written. The only thing I wish is that Skeeter and Stuart got married or at least stayed together. I'm also so glad that the world has changed so much from that point.

I listened to the audio book version of this and it was amazing. I loved it. Now I regret waiting so long to read this novel. I just wish there was an epilogue at the end.
It was a page turner. I felt that I needed more.
INCREDIBLE book. So enjoyable!!!
