The Help

Hello everybody as you can see on the post title I read the Help.Normally I read books for young adult bt recently I felt a little tired on reading books for young adult so for a change of pace i decided to read The Help.
The Help is a book written by Kathryn Stockett.It was published in 2009 and receive absolutely positive reviews.

The Good
.Absolutely great characters(To the main 3 characters to Hilly,Celia and even Skeeter's Mom)
.An absolutely amazing story that will make you feel like crying and laugh numerous times.
.Really nice cover (to me it really suites the story)

The bad
.There is nothing bad I can say except I really hoped that Celia's backstory would be more explored.

Quick summary
The Help is set in Jackson Mississippi around the 1960s.There are three main characters The white outcast Skeeter,The Help with great cooking skill but likes to talk back about her clients Minny and Aibileen the Help who is now raising her 17th Child.The story is told revolving around the three main characters.Skeeter just return from college and was suprised to find her help Constantine was fired she doesn't like how her friends treat their Help and decided to write about what does the Help thinks about their employer.Minny is now working for Ms Walters an old lady who is quite deaf but one day gets fired by Ms Walter's daughter by accusing her of stealing Silver.Lastly is Aibileen who is now taking care of her 17th child but she feels depressed since her son jst died and how the employer is treating their Help.Together the three women tries to make a change in their town........I guess that's the end of the summary.

The conclusion
When I was deciding what book to read I looked at the bookstore's shelves and found myself attracted by the cover.I hear do of the book before ofcourse but I really never tried to bother since I normally read young adult type of books.Anyway I decide to buy it and thought to myself it might be great book and I was definitely wrong The Help is an absolutely amazing book.Supplied with great story and more amazing characters it is an absolutely muust read book.To me the ending felt a little sad,the main characters does have a kind of good ending but it feels more like a bitterswweet ending.What I'm trying to say eventhough the have a good ending I still feel sorry for them but I guess in real life a truly happy ending never really happens.
