The Help...

March was an all time low for me in postings. I have a lot of posts to hit send on. Sorry.

To make it up I will share my favorite book right now...
The Help by Kathryn Stockett


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this book. It had great story telling which included history, relationships, and suspense. I was pulled quickly into a world I had never understood and suddenly spent some time questioning my response to racism. Was I was strong enough to stand up to what I believed in when the consequences were very socially unacceptable? I hope so. Was I more like Hilly than Skeeter? I loved getting to know Aibileen, Celia, Minny, Skeeter, each character was complicated and interesting and in their own way heroic. These relationships were complicated and dear relationships that were such a big part of many people at the time. It also made me think a lot more about what is right and how easily it can be made to look wrong. How much of my response to things it really moral or just easy. I read this book in just a few days but found every minute enjoyable. It was a little treat at the end of the day. I almost slowed myself down (but couldn't) because I loved it so much. One of the best books I have read all year. Sorry it had to end.
