I just finished this book and I thought it was excellent! I haven't seen the movie yet, but I almost always prefer the book over the movie. Have any of you read "The Help" and if so, what are your reactions to it?

Haven't read it yet but I want to very much. One of these days I'll be able to get it at the library - right now every time I remember it, it's already been taken out by someone else.

Once you have read it, please let me know what you think!
I was surprised to find it when I checked it out, as the waiting list to reserve the book had been over 20 people at one point!

I'm writing a sequel to The Help. It will take place in PG County, MD, fifty years later and it will be called The Helpless. I was watching the movie and when they came to the part where they had to relive Rodney King (never mind that that was thirty years later) I turned it off and picked up my iPad and this thread topic title jumped out at me. I've had enough of the white-devil-killing-the-black-man movies. It's another cartoon. Time to update, folks.

FWIW, in spite of the movie, Viola Davis and Cicely Tyson were absolutely awesome.

OK, finally read this one. It was good. I thought that it stopped somewhat abruptly, though (I would have liked to see the results of Miss Hilly's comeuppance, and find out what happened to the rest of the maids after Skeeter left for NYC).
