Unlike my last book, The Help has me so much more engaged in the book. I did not even notice how fast i was flying through this book. It may not seem like a lot but my pages read per week went from 21 to 81. Even though i probably wont finish The Help by the end of the trimester (mostly because it is 500+ pages long) but i think i will find myself finishing the book really soon.
Honestly i think any reader would enjoy this book. I like this book because it deals with real issues, even though the issues in The Help aren't really present today i think people could still learn from this book. I have not finished this book yet (obviously) but this book is so generally (not in a bad way) that anyone could read this/ enjoy this book. It is a little hard to understand and get into at first just because of the way it is written. But overall it adds to the book. It is also hard to get bored of this book even though it goes by slow. I think this is because every other chapter is written by a different character. So not only do you get the view of the help; but you also get the view of the white women and families.
Above is an ad for the movie The Help. The women in the picture are Aibileen, Minny, and Ms. Skeeter. The book follows these three ladies and each chapter is told from one of their points of views.








this is a great movie!
