The Help



"Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home with a degree from Ole Miss, but her mother won't be happy until she has a ring on her finger. Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Minny, Aibileen's best friend, can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue so she can't keep a job. It's 1962, and these three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step that forever changes a town and a way the women - mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends - view one another."

For June

I really liked this book, until the end. I felt like I was reading for hours and only got through like 20 pages. I love books like that. I thought the story was very interesting and kept my attention very well. It was interesting reading about lifestyles during that time period and how much different they are than today. I was very disappointed with the end though. There was not a happy ending, and it left much to be desired from the reader. Let me know what you think.
