Book Review : The Help


Last semester in my voice and diction class, A couple of my fellow classmates were preparing lines and scenes for a small reenactment of the Kathryn Stockett bestseller The Help. I never really heard of the book and I didn't think it was worth a read. Until I went to the local BJ's and there it was. The book for only $14.00 and I did not put it down till every page was read.
This is by far the best book I've read in a long time . Although it is fiction The Help is about the trials and tribulations of African American maids in the 1960's in different POV's (point of views). It also takes to the point of views of their employers ,and the main character Skeeter and her quest to find the maid that raised her. If you like point of view/cultures stories this is for you. I highly recommend it

I recently learned that there will be "The Help Movie" out in August of this year ! :D... Excited !!
Check it out and let me know what you think :)
