BEST audio book I've EVER listened to
I just LOVED this 15-CD audio book; the storyline and the characters and the 'voices' and the audacity of Skeeter, the stupidity of Hillie, the bravery of the 'Help' and ..... just .... everything!!!

I laughed, I cried, I wished, I waited, I hoped.

I'm normally a thriller-type listener (Linwood Barclay, all of Stig's Millenium trilogy, some Jeffery Deaver, James Paterson et al) but this caught my attention and it was so worth the money.



good read
Book arrived in good time and good condition. Was read within a couple of days

An unexpected delight
I brought this book based on the other great reviews and I wasn't disappointed. This novel is like nothing I've ever read before and I enjoyed it immensely. The characters are vibrant, real and colourful and their personalities leap off the page. The plot was unusual and absorbing and went along at the perfect pace. By turn moving, funny, thought-provoking and heart-warming, I read this book in great big chunks and finished it in record time! I even spent a whole day indoors reading this because I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

Brilliant!
Amazing book which really draws you into the characters and atmosphere of the Deep South - I couldn't put it down and like many others felt sad when I had finished the book and had to say goodbye to the characters. Read it as soon as possible but be prepared to have to cancel other events so that you can carry on reading! Would make a great holiday read.

Exceeded Expectations
I bought this book as an afterthought when placing an order for my holiday reads. I didn't think that the theme of the book was one that would instantly grab me and I had no expectations, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The story was thoroughly engaging from the outset; very well written with engaging characters. I ploughed through it and although it was a light read, the issues it addressed clearly weren't. I highly recommend this book.
