  • A definite MUST Read!5

    Ms M I stumbled upon this book whilst browsing in my local secondhand bookshop. From the moment I read the first page, I could not put it down. Kathryn created such believable characters that took me through a journey of love, friendship and forgiveness. Even though its placed in the contemporary fiction genre - the facts and history surrounding it were/are real and true. A very emotionally charged and relevant book of the times. I agree that this book hasn't recieved the literally acclaim that it so deserves and I keep goggling Kathryn to find out if she is working on another book - if not at least a sequel to this fabulous one. Love it and highly recommend it. This definately one for the bookshelf - one to be re-read 10 years from now!!! by Ms M

  • Pages full of important issues, well-built characters and hope.4

    Elena Set in the 1950's in Jackson, Mississippi, The Help deals with the lives of three very different women at a time when changes were threatening the "old values" people thought, ruled the world. However, Jackson does not seem able to change as the African-American help keeps raising most white children while, ironically, are despised by their employers for the colour of their skin.

    With such a terrible background, Kathryn Stockett develops three main and very well- built characters, three strong and indepedent women, that will try to change their little town while they face all kind of feelings from their neighbours.

    In my opinion, this is a great book, the first one that made me cry, that deserves more attention from both the general public and the critics. Not only deals with a very important issue of the American history (with constant references to Martin L. King and President Kennedy) but it also reminds the reader of the importance our will to change things no matter if a whole town thinks us wrong. by Elena
