Honestly, when I first decided to read The Help I was a little traumatized by the fact that my reader said it was over 1,000 pages. After last week’s reading marathon, I wasn’t sure I could finish this one on time.
I was so wrong.
This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long long time. Absolutely fantastic writing, gripping plot and I cared for each of the characters so much that I couldn’t put the book down for a second. I really wish it went on for another thousand pages. It was that good.
The changing of the points of view was smooth and wonderfully executed. It’s almost impossible to believe this is her first novel. It’s about a world I know almost nothing about and I think that’s what made it even more compelling to me.
I would highly recommend this book. Truly.
On to next week’s book. Something smaller but doesn’t look like it will be lighter.

I just finished this book a few days ago. It is a great book. I’m glad you enjoyed it, too!
I read this one also. I agree it is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
I also just finished “Woman in red” which was a good read also.
Check out Kindred by Octavia Butler. It’s a fascinating read (not always easy, but gripping.)
Shayne, you are the reason I read The Help! It was your recommendation that led me to it. Thank you so much!!!
