Great book. You will need help just putting The Help down. You will fall in love with the characters and not want to stop reading/listening.

Despite all the wonderful reviews since this title was released, I simply was not interested. I've joined the ranks. THE HELP is moving, eye-opening, and humbling. The readers were topnotch.

This book was so good. I was so disappointed when I finished it. I missed all the characters. I loved this book. It is one of the best books I have ever read.

An eye-opener

I heard the stories and I knew they were true. However, I didn't realize the depth of the demeaning human aspect of how middle class white women treated their colored maids; and how they passed this demeaning attitude on to their children whom were confused by all of it because the maids showed the children love where their parents didn't. Such a rich story with real heart and admirable characters.

WONDERFUL

A wonderful book read very well in the spirit of the writers with the deep south accent to boot. You will know more at the end then you did going in to it. A thought provoking book to say the least.

A MUST Read!

What a fantastic book! It should be compulsory reading by every young woman as it provides rare insight into a time in the not too distant past that we are still struggling to come to terms with.
