The Help by Kathryn StockettWHERE DO I BEGIN? This is one of my all time top 5 books. Every single person should read this book at some point in their life. I will admit, before the movie & hype came about I overlooked this novel as "chick-lit" and passed it right by. BOY, WAS I WRONG! It is such a moving story about 3+ women during the civil rights era, it still amazes me to this day that people treated others this way. This story will make you laugh, cry, take you on a guilt trip, & think twice about the way you treat others. Although the movie was fantastic, it does not do the book justice... as you read you are taken back to the time period and you feel as though you know these characters. To me, that is a sign of a GREAT, classic story. LOVED this book.
