10. The help

The help is actually one of my favourite books of all time! The version that I've been reading has a small quote from USA TODAY which reads 
'...it's characters jump of the page and into your heart.' That is so inexplicably true. The sign of a good book for me is if your heart is throbbing, eyes are brimming and mouth slightly ajar. It was AMAZING and an absolute definite read! I loved it so so so much! 
  The racial segregation in America and the Great Depression are topics that thoroughly interest me. It has always been quite fascinating to look at the ways of human nature where prejudice can easily ruin lives. The idea behind it is just fantastic!
My favourite character is Minny. I really love how her character is so strong on the outside and so mellow and down to earth inside. She really cares for everyone she comes across but is afraid to admit it which is the beauty of her personality; the way that her modesty prevails throughout the novel. 
I have nothing but high praise for Kathryn Stockett and this remarkable read. I am ever so glad that I've taken the time this summer to read it!
