  THE HELP
Review created: 08/08/09

I can't say enough good things about this book! Reading it is like sitting down and talking to old friends. I grew up in the 50's and 60's in Alabama so I can totally relate to these characters. May Mobley reminded me of myself as a child with an older, wonderful black lady whose name was Nettie. She has been gone to her reward many years, but I can still feel her love, care and protection from a rather critical mother much like in the book. If you have the chance to pick up the book, I promise you will not be disappointed!!

A fantastic read. I didn't want it to end. The characters were beautifully written. Not like any story I have ever read before.

  The Help - A fantastic book!
Review created: 11/17/09

I just can't put this book down! Since I was born and raised in Jackson, MS it is a book that really does describe how it was in the 60's. You are so involved in all the character's lives and as I said before, I have almost finished it as I can't seem to put it down long enough to do anything else.

  review of "Help"
Review created: 11/09/09
by:

the dynamics of the "help" and the employers during this time period were excellently portrayed. it was one of the best books i have read recently. it was so good, i also purchased two more books by that author and have not been disappointed in her continued excellence. she write a book that grabs you from page one and makes you wish for more when it finishes.

I really liked this book. For a first novel it is very well written and the author did a great job of keeping you interested in the characters. The only problem is I want one of those caramel cakes...

  Help - great book
Review created: 11/05/09

Easy to read and well written and about an interesting topic. More people will enjoy in whan it comes out in paperback. It is a large book and hard to lug aroubd. The characters that are described in the book are very real and it almost seems like nonfiction. It is difficult to remember that the book is historical fictrion. I purchased it on ebay because the store price was twenty seven dollars. After I finished the book, I passed it around so others could also enjoy it and then I gave it to the library

  EXCELLENT BOOK THAT GRABS YOU FROM THE FIRST PAGE
Review created: 11/03/09
by:

If you want to know how relationships were between the upper white class and their black help in the late 1940's - 1950's then this book is a must-read. You will understand the deep emotions that only occasionally surface in these relationships. I found this book to be of significance in the history of the African American in the South. Well done!

I bought this book for Book Club. We read a variety of books and this was one of my favorites. I read it at the beach in 4 days. It has short chapters so it keeps you turning the pages. The book has everything. It's funny, suspenseful, and thought inspiring. I highly recommend it.

I had heard good things about this book and I am finding that I cannot put it down. Written from the perspective of "the help" in the 1960's, it's impossible to imagine that this was recent history. This book should be required reading in high school.

  GREAT BOOK!!
Review created: 09/14/09

I absolutley LOVED this book! I'm not really a "reader" but I needed something for my trip. I googled best seller books 2009 and saw this book. It sounded interesting to me so I bought it off of ebay. WOW!! I'm so glad I chose this one. It was hilarious, sad, and happy. Very well written for this being Kathryn's first novel. Sometimes I had to read out loud in order to get my "southern" accent going so I could get into Aibileen's character. It was a fun read. I really hope they come out with a movie for this! I seriously highly recommend this book! A+++

  A must-read!
Review created: 09/11/09

I loved this book and finished it in 2 sessions! Complex characters and an unflinching look at a shameful chapter in American history. Raw human emotion. Courage and unlikelyfriendships. A good pace with plenty of twists and turns. I'm hoping for a sequel where maybe Mae Mobley works on the Obama campaign and the maids live to see his election.

I purchased this book because it was recommended by some of my reading group buddies and I loved it. The characters are so well developed and the story gives great insight into the turmoil surrounding civil rights in Jackson Mississippi during the early 1960s. It is narrated by three African American women who were maids to three southern white women. I highly recommend this novel.
