I sat down one evening to skim through the first few pages of <em>The Help</em> to determine if I would proceed with a full read. I was immediately hooked and a couple of sessions later I closed the back cover. I didn't have to work hard- this is a compulsively readable novel. That this is such an easy read ...

I sat up for most of last night reading this book, and I tell you it was something. It is about a group of maids in Jackson,Miss, working for white employers and getting up with a young white girl just out of college to write of their experiences. Of course, it's anonymous, but when the book hits th...

If not, you're in for a treat as you watch Skeeter Phelan, a child of privilege in pre-civil rights Mississippi, get her consciousness raised — and her social position endangered — as she begins writing about the lives of the maids who polish the sil...

This book has a kazillion ratings and reviews so I doubt there is little I can add. I found the story and dialog to be quite believable. As someone who came of age during the sixties I well remember the battles, both physical and verbal, between the “separate-but-equal” crowd and those pushing hard ...

The story itself: This could have really used a better editor. I didn't understand why the boyfriend character was even in there--he added nothing to the story. In addition, Skeeter keeps telling us that Hilly and Elizabeth are her friends but that's just it--she tells us. We never see why she would...

Originally, I thought this book should have been retitled <em>The Hype</em>. At least that's what I told my friend. I remember thinking something along the lines of, blah, another story about racism in the old southern days? Must be the chick-lit version of <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>. Wow. I was <em>so</em> wrong.

I've completed 69% of this book on Kindle, and must wait a week to read the rest. Roger is taking my Kindle to Ireland, so I'll be reading a different &quot;real&quot; book this week.
<br/>I LOVE this book, with it being one of my favorite book ever. The Help is well written and well researched, g...

I'm listening to this as an audiobook and I'm guessing I'm about halfway through, but I feel justified in giving it 4 stars. I might add or subtract a star when I'm done listening to it.
<br/>
<br/>I'm glad I'm listening to this one, rather than just reading it, but I will probably buy the book too...

An engrossing, vivid, funny, and important book about three women living in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s. Stockett writes in three first-person voices: 1. a middle-aged black maid who specializes in childcare, 2. a hot-tempered black maid who cares for a once-poor, now-rich white woman, and 3. ...
