The Help

Loved it!

As someone who watch the movie first. It was not what I was expecting. Although I will say I really did enjoy reading the book and it was a very much different take on all the characters. Also did find myself having a hard time sometimes remembering which character is which.

I could believe how fast I fell into this book. It's been so long since I've been able to do that. And I only picked this book up no more than 10 times. I would read huge chunks of it because it was so intriguing. I would recommend this book to anyone. It was wonderful. The writing was smooth and the author introduced mysteries that kept the reader intrigued. The plot had several intertwining stories, expected because it is told from three separate views. I watched the movie, which surprisingly didn't completely ruin the book. Be warned though, some parts are missing or changed slightly so that the viewer can get as much of the story as possible without making it 4 hours long.
