I've been wanting to read The Help ever since the book club at school read it last year. Finally got a copy of it from my friend RuthAnn a few months ago and decided that it was high time I read it--since it seemed like everyone around me had read it (including my dad) and I hate going to see a movie for a book I haven't read yet. I picked it up Monday after school and finished it Tuesday night, after midnight--couldn't put it down, even for sleep.
The characters and relationships seemed so believable and authentic. I would like to think I would have had the guts like Skeeter, had I lived in Mississippi during the early 1960s, but I'll never know for sure. Having never read anything from the point of view from the help, this was an eye-opener.
If you are one of the individuals waiting for the Cliffs Notes version to come out, don't wait....it was worth every single word!!
Happy Reading!
