"The Help"
After reading the book, I was really looking forward to seeing the movie. Marcia and I were not disappointed, we both really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
I agree! I read the book last fall and thougth it was really well written--I thought the movie was a fairly close match, too. Next up--I suggest you try "The Lace Reader" I found it a bit complicated to get into, but well worth the time!
Another book along this same line is "The Dry Grass of August". My book club just read it and enjoyed it. It deals with some of the same issues. I thought "The Help" book and movie were both great!

ReplyDeleteI've just started reading the book. Glad to hear the movie won't disappoint as so many movies from books do.
ReplyDeleteOur book club read "The Help" last year, so I can't wait to see the movie. Glad to hear you liked it.
