The wildly popular New York Times bestseller and reading group favorite

    Books are always better than movies. But I did not expect just how much feeling Katherine Stockett put in those pages. A story of grace, courage and hope. Read everyone.

    A good friend

    I loved this book. I felt like I was there reading about the lives of these women. It captured the politics of society and the nightmare that racial hate colored people and those that supported them lived with. It covered so many truths. Not just racism, it didn't ignore anything. It spoke of the truth behind wealth and society and although its main focus appeared to be about the colored maids of the south of how evil and kind their employers were. It reflected how the ugly taste of slavery is still in the mouths of some of the employers of these colored women. Others maids were considered family. It spoke honestly about the choices that men make about the women they choose to spend their lives with.. I loved how miss Celia fought off that attacker and how she well I won't ruin one of the best scenes in the book. I am so happy for Miss Skeeter and I thought it was a great thing to have her mother go into remission you want to be inspired by the power of possiblity and it doesn't always have to be looking down. Sometimes there are great victories. Thank you Kathryn Stockett.

    Absolutely fantastic!

    The Help is a well-craft, readable, heart warming story all on it's own, but what really makes me give a five star review is are fantastic narrators who make this story come alive. This may be the best audiobook I have listened to yet.
