 Tugs at your heartstrings July 28, 2010
mellowyellow
"The Help" is certainly a book that tugs at the readers heart strings. The reader's attention is captured within a few pages of starting this book. It gives insight into how "separate but equal" was justified by the Caucasian population in Mississippi, while also poignantly describing the politics of female interactions within both the black and white social circles. Your emotions will run the gamut by the end of this book. The author writes in prose, which makes the story more personal and relatable. Highly recommended!
Review of Audio version July 28, 2010

The audio version of The Help is superb! The 3 women who read the parts of Skeeter, Aibileen, and Minnie are excellent. I know I would have enjoyed reading the book, but I really think that listening to this one (especially if you are not accustomed to reading or hearing southern dialect) is the best!

This rates as the best book I have read in a long time (and I read a book a week, most genres). The writing is excellent, as is the pacing. A reader can understand the feelings of each character without the author belaboring the issues.

Just amazing...I travel a lot and listened to it through an audio book, which was amazing in itself. Their were different narrators for each character, made the book come alive in my mind. 18 hours of audio book, I just had to buy the actual book and read it...Truly the highlight of my summer reading. I suggest this book to anyone who loves a great novel.
I believe that I had a deep connection with the book because I am from the South and it made me think about my own childhood.

This story is so compelling that I could hardly put it down. The characters are so well developed that you feel like you know them. When the book ended, I found myself saying 'wait, I want more'! Some of the stories are hilarious, others are sad, but you are left feeling like you understand the south in the 60's a lot better. With such a complex topic, that is quite an accomplishment. If you like historical fiction novels, you should not miss this book!
