Search - The Help

In the beginning, I had to work to understnad what was happening however once I began to read the story became much more interesting. I began piecing together the points. About half way through the book I stated to really want to keep reading, the characters became real and alive. I began to understand their struggles. I felt empathy for all the domestics and began to put myself in their lives. I felt what they might have exoperienced.

Being mainly a mystery/thriller reader, this was way out of my comfort zone. However, I was a history major in college with a distinct interest in the Civil Rights Era. I had passed up this book numerous times because it just didn't sound like it was a book for me. When my grandmother read it and loved it, I knew I would have to read it as well. I have never been so glad to have read a book. This was such a wonderful and hilarious (at times) read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It was easily readable and likable, even when some of the characters weren't very likable at times. Definitely give this book a try.

Oh, and it will make you think twice about chocolate pie :)

This was one of the best books I have ever read! The story flowed beautifully, the characters well developed and I'm still thinking about the book! I didn't want it to end. A definite must read!

Worth reading

Awesome book! Enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would. Admittedly, I got the book because of all the hype. I enjoyed how the author was able to tell various stories and tie them together. Well worth your time!

Very interesting & entertaining story, but some disappointing incongruencies in the writing.
