The Help

Author: Kathryn Stockett
Stars: 5+
Review by: Inveterate Reader
Destination: Jackson, Mississippi

This was my second reading of this fabulous book.   And as the Chinese proverb at the beginning of this site stated....the second time you read the book, you meet an old friend.   Oh yes. How I loved Minnie, Abilene, Skeeter. Re-reading this fabulous book was just as heartbreakingly wonderful as the first time.  I highly recommend this to everyone.  Please see the movie, too.  It holds true to the book.   Didn't you just want to slap Hilly silly !!!!  When I finished reading it, I said, "Thank you God, I wasn't born in Jackson, Mississippi."
