To all of you enraged Christians who are continuosly guiding us to the Bible:
I mean…if we lived the way Neale Walsch writes we should live, we would all be happy. And we would all be loving.
Even if this goes against your supposed wrathful and vengeful God, isn’t this a preferred way to celebrate our existence? Instead of discarding this book in a fit of rage I encourage you to think a little deeper.
What is wrong with a world completely full of love? I see nothing.
To those of you who haven’t read the book: You need to be ready for it and go into it with complete lack of judgment. It was hard, for me, for instance, to get the idea out of my head that the voice of God was male, but you start to feel your mind expanding. If, however, you’re willing to keep your mind closed to any ideas outside of your own, which I don’t recommend, don’t risk being challenged in your beliefs by reading this. It’s sometimes hard to think that misinterpretation is impossible and that difference is a beautiful thing.

I liked everything about this book, but I especially loved the contrast between Jacob as a young man and his life as a 90 (or 93) year old. It’s one of those stories that older people tell that makes young people realize they need to sit down and talk with the elderly people they know, or this type of story is going to be gone forever. Jacob’s story of the circus and falling in love were so moving, but when you see what happens to Jacob as an old man, it is bittersweet. I was expecting the end to be much more of a downer – I thought the ending was very uplifting.

I rarely add my opinions to an Amazon entry when more than a dozen people have already weighed in and have already said it all. With 2400+ reviews posted and new ones added each day, this book doesn’t need my help or even another five-star review. It does, however, DESERVE the latter.

“The Help” is the best mainstream novel I have read in a good, long while. The fundamental subject matter is a fresh but important one. At its core, the book is about race relations in the Deep South in the early 1960s. The plot develops through the eyes of three characters: two black maids (Aibileen and Minny) and one white girl (Skeeter). Each chapter is written from the point of view of one of the women. This technique draws the reader into both social circles at once, offering insights that only insiders to either group can know. We become a part of the community of Jackson, Mississippi, through these pages. And the storyline is a captivating one that keeps us wondering and crossing our fingers for a positive outcome. After all, if Harriet Beecher Stowe’s little book helped to start the Civil War (as Abraham Lincoln once told her), then the realities of “Help” by Skeeter and the Jackson maids could easily become a significant enabler of the civil rights movements of the 1960s. But what will be the cost of its possible success to our characters and their friends?

I enjoyed reading this book because I learned much from it. I was a child of the ’60s but was born and raised in a white suburb north of the Mason-Dixon line. I knew nothing of life in Mississippi under the Jim Crow laws and segregation. Oh, you heard things, and you saw random events on the news. Eventually you read what the history books told you. But none of it seemed real or believable until someone like Ms. Stockett — a native of that time and that place and those circumstances — saw fit to poise a searchlight upon the situation. Kudos to her!

The Help is now one of my favorite books of all time. Rarely do I read a book, finish the last page, and open it up to read again. Positively Beautiful!
