The Help: post 2

So I finally finished The Help, and loved it. I think that the way that the author wrote it was very clever and well done. I think that my favorite chapters were the ones where Minny was talking. (Abileen was my second favorite, and Eugenia third) The last time I wrote, I was on the part where Eugenia left her satchel at the meeting and was so nervous because Hilly took it home. It made me very, very stressed when that happened because the whole time, in my mind I kept on thinking: "Oh my gosh...Did she snoop? Did she read the stories?? Ack!" As it turns out, Hilly only found the booklet that Eugenia had found in the library, but still raised holy hell for her.
When I got to Minny's chapter where she couldn't find Celia anywhere, (but later on found her in the bathroom) my heart just dropped. I was freaking out about what happened, and to be honest it took me a second to realize what actually did happen. (And may I just say: I KNEW IT!! I freaking knew she was pregnant!!! So ha.) That chapter gave me goosebumps because of how well written it was, and because I felt like I was there. Like I knew what the bedroom looked like, the clothes everywhere and stuff. Like I knew how it would feel to almost be throwing up because of the smell, but forcing yourself not to, just to help.
I loved how ignorant everyone who read the book that everyone wrote was. How they were probably thinking: "Oh I don't do that. At least I treat her better than THAT!" even though it is what they do. In fact, One of those chapters, was pretty much about the person reading the book. I also really liked how everything was tied up in some way or another in the end. 
I think that this book was excellent. 4.5 out of 5 stars! Yay!

The Help; post 1

So! I am on page 220, and I literally can't put it down. I mean, I've obviously had to, for school and stuff, but, you know, it's an amazing book!! I think that the first chapter was the hardest to get into because of the language. It kind of takes a while to get used to how Aibileen speaks, but after you do, she has some of the most powerful things to say.
After about the first chapter I knew I was going to be hooked.
I am at the part right after Eugenia left her satchel at the meeting and Hilly found it and took it home. When Eugenia realized that all of the interviews were in that satchel and she was just a nervous wreck, I was too. One of my favorite parts so far was in one of Minny's chapters. It was when she couldn't find Celia and so she just went on to clean the house, when she hears this voice asking her who she was. I was so excited and scared to find out what happened next because it would move the story forward, but also because it was Celia's husband, who she didn't want Minny to be revealed to. (But, honestly? She went from cooking grits and potatoes to serving steak and wonderful food? Did she think he was stupid? I dunno...It was just a good moment.) I also liked later on in that same chapter how the husband revealed to Minny that of course he knew. I liked how he wasn't mad at her for trying to get better, and how he was going to let her tell him when she was ready to. I thought that was really sweet of him.
So overall I think that this is a fantastic book and Katherine Stockett did and amazing job of writing it! :)

Soo...
