I want to know what people think about The Help (the book not the movie) because I just finished it this morning and I was crying because of the ending. I really wish something good would have happened to her in the end. I definitely grew to love Mae Mobley! And then Abileen left her! I was so sad!! What do you think? Its an amazing book! If you havent read it you should!

Moving to The Fireside. The Fireside is for discussing favorite reads. :D

Sorry to move it again, but it should go in The Watchtower, as that is where we post about books we have read and so on. :)

I haven't ever read it before, Book, what is it about?

I haven't read it before, and I'm not sure I will if it's sad. I can't usually take sad books. :P I'll be watching this thread, though, and maybe I'll read it anyway later, depending on what other people think. :D

I have only seen the movie. Is it a lot different from the book?

Oops. I apologize, y'all, Saturday was a bit of a rough day and I was tired. :P

I haven't read this book, but I've heard a lot of good things about it, especially from my mom. *adds to her mountainous need-to-read list* ;)

I really like the film of The Help, and I've heard a lot of good reviews for the book. I should read it sometime. :)

There's one or two things to look out for though. In the book there's a lot of bad language, not to mention how one of the characters lies a lot (it got a bit annoying after a while). And this one scene (not the pie scene) that could have been taken out of the book (it's not in the movie, thankfully). I found the movie a bit cleaner than the book, and enjoyed it better. Although some things (as always) are better explained in the book than in the movie.
But I wouldn't recommend the book to young readers (I feel like the book was intended for readers older than myself). I might recommend the movie though, to some who are okay with it.
I quite enjoyed the soundtrack of the movie (done by Thomas Newman, who did the soundtracks to Little Women, Finding Nemo, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and others).

I have only seen the movie, though I did enjoy the film. My mom said that the movie was practically the book on screen (though obviously some stuff had been left out). Do you think that's a fair comparison? Or do you think the movie really didn't do the book justice?

I saw this because a friend wanted me to watch it with her.

Being a history guru, I was unhappy with things said and done, specifically the amount of language used in a time period where women in general, white or black, did not cuss. Once or twice I could have handled. The constant usage turned me off completely.

Celia Foote was an amazing character, though! I loved her despite the fact she was a bit of a ditsy blond. =)
