Book Review: The Help

Okay, so I know all of y'all have seen the famous movie, The Help. Well it was based off a fabulous book by Kathryn Stockett. The book features black maid, Aibileen as she is working for her 17th white child. It also includes Skeeter, a white woman who tries to act like a proper lady. She attends the bridge club and is in the league. She writes the Mrs. Myrna article in the paper. She asks for the help of Aibileen and when one thing leads to another she starts to write a book of stories of black maids and their lives. After much work and dedication the book is finished. The book receives amazing reviews, but when the book is suspected to be based on Jacksonville, Hilly who has an embarrassing part in the book, try's to persuade people it isn't. This story is a must read. It is my new favorite book. It's beauty and glory is not even justified in this short summery. It makes you smile and it will make you cry.  I love the wording and couldn't put the book down. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
