If you haven't already started reading The Help, Stephanie's review will provide the motivation. Thanks Steph!
"I read The Help in about 3 days. It is compulsively readable. I couldn't put it down. The characters in this book were taken from real life. This is Kathryn Stockett's first book. To me, it is clear that she really understands Southern life and has made great efforts to understand what life was like for black women who served white families. She writes about sad stories that leave a great glimmer of hope, and though she examines our differences and our mistakes, she highlights our humanity to wonderful effect. And while this is a serious book, it also has wonderfully lighthearted moments, humorous moments, and strikingly funny insights into women and their behavior. It's about people of different races and classes coming together in a spirit of unity and love. It's about how we help each other as human beings I loved this book and can't recommend it highly enough. I hope that you all enjoy it, too.
– Love, Stephanie"
