Book review

The Help

The help is wonderful. Very creatively written and well organized. I spend at least 20 minutes a day reading through the pages as carefully as I can so I can get as much out of the book as I can. I am currently on page 206 chapter 13. I am very excited for tomorrows English class because I get to just simply read for 80 whole minutes! My thoughts about the book are all positive, except for of course the sad stories and the hard times I know people had back then. I think a lot about what I would do in some of the situations the book describes. For example, when Mrs Skeeter is pressured to write a book she doesn't know she should actually even think about. Or actually breaking laws and risking others lives for something that might not go through the publishing room. I think If I were the ambitious writer, trying to create something I believe in, I still wouldn't have the kind of courage Skeeter did when It came to asking the help for help. The movies is great as well. Of course, even though the book is always going to be better, the movies sets a good perspective as well. The movie is what lead me to the book. My mom is always pushing books in my face saying “You would really like this one Madison, it’s got some insect information in it.” This book I was glad was not pushed in front of me, it is one that you can enjoy and feel good about reading, knowing your not wasting your time. It had taken Kathryn Stockett 5 years to complete the book and went through 60 different hands saying no to it being published, but I am glad she decided to stick with it. Most books I like are suspense, adventure, science fictional, but never love stories. But this book has almost everything, adventure, suspense, excitement, funny moments, sad moments and not to much of that lovey-dovey stuff.

Today, I plan to go easy before reading it for English tomorrow. I am very excited about this novel.
