The Help

Hi,
I Just finished  reading The Help,By Kathryn Stockett
It was a good book.
Here is what the back says,
Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step...
Aibileen is a black maid in 1962 Jackson Mississippi, raising her seventeenth white child. She's always taken orders quietly, but lately it leaves her with a bitterness she can no longer bite back. Her friend Minny has certainly never held her tongue, or held on to a job for long, but now she's working for newcomer with secrets that leave her speechless. And white socialite Skeeter has just returned from college with ambition and a degree but, to her mother's lament no husband. Normally Skeeter would find solace in Constantine, the beloved maid who raised her , but Constantine has inexplicably disappeared



Together these seemingly different women join to work on a project that could forever alter their destinies; and the life of a small town- to write in secret a tell all book about what it's relay like to work as a black maid in the wight homes in the South. Despite the terrible risks they will have to take, and the some times humorous boundaries they will cross, these three women unite with one intention: hope for a better day.  



This book is pretty good, But if you are not an adult please ask your parents to read this book first to see if it's OK for you to read.



Age: 15 and up and as i already said if you are not an adult have someone you trust read it first



Good or Bad? I enjoyed this book it was good and funny and i liked the main characters.



Scary: 5 it's not scary in the same way The Hobbit is but it's a realistic scary. Which in a way makes it scarier.



Hard parts to look out for: This book is full of hard parts. There is a lot of bad words in this book as well. This book has hard Friendship parts, hard relationship parts, hard parts about what it was like to be a maid, And some parts that i don't even know what to say about them. This is definitely a Older teen/adult book.





So, young readers read with caution and advice from adults. Put your "Antenna" up as you read and if you hit a part of the book and you need to stop reading, put the book down, no one will judge you because of it. Listen to God listen to adults and, Read With Caution.
