Reading this book has been a journey. It took me back to the 60's where racism was intact and I felt like i could relate to the characters. I'd recommend this book to anyone. Well, I guess you want to know what happened, here we go.
The BOOK WAS PUBLISHED! Sadly, that was just the beginning of everyone's problems. The book started off as a small release but it got very popular once it was featured on a TV show. The book suddenly caught on fire then, and everyone in Jackson was reading it. Everyone from Hilly to Miss Leefolt. At first, Miss Hilly was going around falsely accusing maids of being in the book, but once she read Minny's chapter she realized her reputation would be ruined if she told everyone so she went around telling everyone the book wasn't about Jackson. People still speculated and thought that the pie part was about Hilly, and some even believed she deserved it. And here's the catcher, the book was even called 'help', coincidence, huh? Miss Hilly knew though, and she wouldn't at anything once she found out who did it. She came after Miss Skeeter, and immaturely tried to tell her mom on her. She came after Minny, she got her husband fired. Minny's abusive husband then locked her in the house and threatened to set it off on fire. She came after Aibileen, and falsely accused her of stealing silver from her house. Unfortunately, Miss Skeeter Believed her.
Will Miss Skeeter's mom find out about the book, and maybe die because of the shock? Will Minny's own husband kill her? Will Aibileen be sent to jail and forced to leave Mae Mobley? I know everyone hates a cliff hanger but if that's what it takes to get someone else to read this book then it's worth it. This book can teach anyone good values. This was one of my favorite books. It was like To Kill A Mockingbird through the eyes of Calpurnia. This book really inspired me to be kinder to everyone, becasue everyone is just another person. Doesn't matter if they're tall, short, white, black, red, everyone is just a person.
