I read through this book so quickly. I really liked it. It was an easy and enjoyable read.

Excellent, excellent book that definitely causes one to pause and really think about racism from another angle. Highly recommend.

One of the best. It's funny and smart!

I wasnt sure if I'd like this book, because I as most people think how awful it was back then andI thouhgt maybe it would be too much. However, the Author wrote this in a very tastful way and I couldnt put the book down. Im watching the movie tonight! LOVE IT

I really enjoyed this book and can't wai to see the movie!

This is the best book I have read in years! I can't recommend it enough! It is fabulous and I can't wait to see the movie. The story grabs you and doesn't let you go. You can smell the melted tar on the Mississippi roads, the toil in the cotton fields, the grits burning on the stove. The theme is the indomitable will of human beings to survive against all odds - because of the color of their skin. It is a heart-wrenching account and you will never fondly remember the times of the Jim Crow laws (if you ever did). The pure, down and out bitchery of the white ladies who become dissatisfied with their maids and proceed to ruin their lives is portrayed vividly. The desperation of the maids' circumstances is truly touching. I have laughed and cried my way through this book and plan to re-read it.

This book was amazing. Very detailed and descriptive. You really feel as if you are there watching everything. I could not put this book down and often times was woken up by my husband as I am face down in the book. I loved the charecters, the plot everything!

This book is a must read! I laughed and cried and was sad when I read the last page. I only wish that the movie is as good as the book was!

This is such a moving book, but also so funny! I could NOT put this book down! The author had such a way of drawing me into the story! Highly recommend this book!

What an awesome book! I read it while at the gym on the treadmill and have never burned so many calories. I did not want to put it down! You'll laugh, cry, get angry a full range of emotions with this book.

Didn't put it down! Amazing book. I wanted to laugh, cry, and cheer throughout the novel!

Loved it! This book was so hard to put down!

This is a book I hold near and dear to my heart. I believe a GOOD book does three things, changes you in some way, makes you laugh and makes you cry. It is rare that I find a book to do all three. The Help sent my heart soaring, renewed my passion and restored my faith in humanity. This is a MUST read.

Couldn't put it down. Awesome read. I have yet to see the movie, but looking forward to it!

This book is absolutely amazing. It's an real eye opener.
