NWR: "The Help"

*Note: OP doesn't contain spoilers; don't worry!*

Ah, I saw from the poll some of you are going to read it.  We read it for bookclub in June and I LOVED it!  We (bookclub), just went and saw the movie yesterday.

It's a great book!!

    Is it worth reading the book even after I saw the movie? I usually hate reading books after I've already seen the movie....

    I just finished this book on Friday and I loved it. I plan on seeing the movie this week, but I have to say that the book is great so I'm sure you would be happy reading it. It's well written from the different characters' perspectives.

    Eh, I wouldn't!  But I'm the same way. The book has more detail and small events, but overall I'd say the movie is true to the book.  I even cried/got teary-eyed at the same parts of the movie as I did when reading the book.
