The Help by Kathryn Stockett

     I am currently reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It is about a black housemaid in the 1960s named Abilene, and her friend Minny. Together, with Skeeter, a white woman, deal with racism in the deep South.

     I really liked this book for many reasons. I love how you can practically hear the accents and voices of the characters as you read the text. The characters, especially Minny and Celia Foote, are hilarious and I have laughed out loud many times while reading it. 

     I can relate this book to the movie. The movie version of the book is my favorite movie, and I can definitely see each scene in my head just as I see it in the movie. The author does an amazing job of describing each scene in full detail, and really capturing the essence and feel of the south.
