I delayed reading The Help because I thought it might be just another maudlin tear-jerker. NOT! This is a fascinating, sometimes funny, sometimes heart-warming, sometimes anger-provoking, always skilfully told story that made real for me an era whose end I saw but, being a child, whose details I never discerned. Meals at my grandparent's table when I was small were served by Help dressed in starched white uniforms who had their own quarters in case they needed to stay over. The Help always smiled. They played children's games with me and indulged me when I insisted I was Davy Crockett. I adored them and, when things changed and Grandmother began serving meals herself, I wondered why. I always assumed The Help were happy working for Grandmother ..... but maybe not. Ms. Stockett made me revisit my pediatric assumptions. Good. We should all make a habit of doing so. The Help is an important book and, to make things better, I loved it.

This is the type of read that you will remember a long time after you finish the book. Do yourself a favor and read Help.

From the first page, THE HELP locks you in. Very enjoyable read. Hope to see more from this author in the future.
One of the best reads of my life! August 25, 2010

My brother got me this book for my birthday. A lot of my co-workers and friends who have already read it recommended it to me. I haven't read a book that really moved me the way this one is. I'm right in the middle of it right now and it is so enthraling and exciting to find out what happens next. Each chapter leaves you wanting more before they switch who's perspective you're seeing things through. As you read on, you start to have your questions from previous chapters answered. It's also a real eye-opener to how recent all of the issues with the Civil Rights movement was. Even though this book is fictional, it's so real. I'm not even a big history person and I really didn't know much about the Civil Rights movement. What I learned in school, I pretty much have stored in the most hidden depths of my mind at this point. This book is opening those drawers and reminding me of a lot of forgotten history and it is also very inspiring to know that there are still books about people who want to stand up for what they believe in. Read this book. You will not be sorry. It's an easy read, it's very well written (don't be fooled by what seems like type-os.), and at least from what I've read thus far, it's not raunchy so you could read it with your kids. Plus, the chapters are not very long which makes it easier to read with people if that's your thing. Enjoy!
