"I am a great fan of audio books and this is one of the best! There are several readers which makes the story special. My husband enjoyed it as much as I did. I loaned it to my sister. She got so wrapped up in the story, she almost missed her exit home."
"Kathryn Stockett has written a challenging and beautiful book. I both enjoyed it and needed to read it, to learn more about how white people have treated those of color. it both broke and opened my heart."
"I've completed 69% of this book on Kindle, and must wait a week to read the rest. Roger is taking my Kindle to Ireland, so I'll be reading a different "real" book this week. I LOVE this book, with it being one of my favorite book ever. The Help is well written and well researched, giving unique insight into the black maids living and working in the southern US during the early 60's. As a child growing up in Atlanta, Lillie Frazier came to our house three times a week. She loved and nurtured me in a way that noone else ever did. She taught me about the power of faith and the power of prayer. I was her favorite and she was my favorite - and everyone knew it! Lillie attended my graduations from high school and college. She remembered my birthday each year, and was always happy to see me come in the door from school. I baked her a pound cake for Christmas every year, and fussed at my brothers if they treated her with anything less than respect. After Roger and I married, Lillie retired. She phoned me every week or so, and give me support and advice about raising my own children. I visited her twice with the my kids, before her death a little over 10 years ago. The character of Aibeleen was cut from the same mold, from the hugs and positive words to the indirect but powerful way that she taught me that the quality of the person is unrelated to the color of his/her skin.
What a beautiful, appropriate ending to a terrific book. Definately, this book receives my two thumbs up!"
