The Help by Kathryn Stockett (2009, Hardcover)

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.

It was a book club selection. Wonderfully written, takes the reader into the story. Truly believable for the era. Regrettable period in our country's history.

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...

I received this book in a timely matter & it was in perfect condition as promised. I have not had the opportunity to read in yet but I'm an anticipating a good read.

Bought the book because a friend recommended it. Than I recommended it for my book club. Loved the read--well worth the time spent. Everyone in my book club thought it was a great book too. Fantastic first-book author. Highly recommend this book.

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

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!

Excellent service. The book was delivered on time in perfect condition and the price was better than I could find anywhere else.

thanks for the fast deliveery thanks agaiun good service i was very happy for the seller thanks again

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.

Was overcharged by $5 for delivery. Confirmation said $3.99 delivery. But actual delivery was $9. E-mails to seller were unanswered. E-Bay refunded additional delivery charge.

Great book...I love the stroy line. hard to put down! A must read for everyone! I will share this one with my teenager too.

The book was written very well. I loved that it held my attention and i could not put it down! I heard about it from a friend who highly recommended it.

Book Club great book fast shipping! I recomamend this seller very good answers qy=uestions right away ver prompt.

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.

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+++

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.

Great title as soon as you read the 1st page, your drawn to the characters. You feel like your there, you can even smell the souls of these characters.
This story lets you put your troubles behind and absord your time w/a good book

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.

Quick service, book in excellent condition, all around great shopping experience. Will definitely order from this seller again.

Great book - very interesting and entertaining. The fact that it is a historical fiction gives an overview of what life was like during this time period. I highly recommend it.

Really enjoyed the story.....easy flow, easy read, very interesting and held my attention throughout, loved it!
