The help By:Kathryn Stockett

Kathryn Stockett, who was raised in Jackson, Mississippi, was inspired by her close childhood relationship with her family's black maid to write The Help. Her debut novel tells the story of privileged families in Jackson and the black women who work as maids and nannies for the families but live in a separate part of town and are segregated from whites in so many ways. The close relationships formed between "the help" and these families is constantly contradicted by the enforced segregation and blatant racism on a society-wide. The Help is told in the alternating narratives of the various women.

I thought this was a good book and a good movie too. If i had to rate this book out of 5 stars i would give it about 4 stars, in some parts of the book it gets a little boring, and in some parts it had to understand because of the way the author talks in book.Some things I liked about the book were that it had some really interesting parts in the book, and it is funny in some parts also.
