The Help

So my favorite sister-in-law on Matt's side of the family suggested I read "The Help".  I picked it up at the Costco in Virginia and began reading it immediately.  Loved it!! Could hardly put it down.  I have since suggested it to many others, but haven't needed to since it is a bestseller.

Thank goodness I read it when I did since the movie just came out at the beginning of the month.  I went to watch it with a friend and her mom.  I felt the movie did the book great justice.  Only a few small details that were missing.  Nothing added or changed dramatically.  The actors were for the most part unknown (except for the main character and her mother).  It was a wonderful movie - funny, sad, and true to the story.  I highly recommend both the movie and book, but, of course, read the book first!! :)
