The book is wonderfully written with a quiet humor to our heroine that doesn't detract from the seriousness of the subject. This perspective was ignored for so long, that when finally brought to light, it is a stroke of genius to finally expose the wonderful spirit of The Help.

This work wasn't for me. But, I can see where peering into the twisted interior of a mentally disturbed person would be intriguing for some. In that respect, this book keeps you guessing and wondering. It is probably a bit too close to the truth on some aspects of human interaction, which may be why it was hard to take in. Lovely writing, just not my cup of tea.
