The Help- any good?

[MudAndGlitter]

I've just brought/bought (?) this for my kindle as it sounded good. Is it one that needs perservering with or is it good straight away?
If any of that makes sense...

I loved it. Not seen the film yet but apparently it was great too.

I got into it pretty much straight away and stayed up to 3am one night finishing it.

It had excellent amazon reviews which tempted me in! Although I have so many kindle books I'm only a bit of the way through. Real life keeps getting in the way

I love this book! I am reading it now and I don't want it to finish!

I've just started it and haven't really got into it yet. Still undecided but will persevere! SIL loved it.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but felt the ending was a bit open-ended - maybe Katheryn Stockett is planning a sequel? I'd love to know how the maids' lives panned out through the 70's and 80's.

I found it pretty easy to get into

Just finished reading it. Could hardly put it down. Thought it a bit romanticised at first but liked the references to real events in history. Without giving too much away, I wish there was more written about what happened to Minny.

The film is excellent.

The book is v easy to get into and I loved the first half but thought the second half was pretty ridiculous and the ending was rather unsatisfying.

One of the few cases when a film is way, way better than the book imho.

I'm 90% through it and don't want it to end which is nice. It's been a while since I've read something and enjoyed it this much.

Excellent. It was unusual that in my book group everyone loved it.

Just finished it. Really loved the book but can't help hoping desperately for a follow up to appear. Preferably yesterday so I could stay with the characters!

A wonderful wonderful book - my book of 2011.

The films surprisingly good too, not as Hollywood-ised as I thought it would be.

Read and see both!

Everyone in my bookgroup loved it too.

Loved it. Couldnt put it down

un-put-downable!
