It took one whole week. I wanted to get through it. I wanted to know what all the hype was about. I wanted to read it before I saw the movie. Did it really compare to one of my favorites To Kill A Mockingbird?
It took a lot to get it read. I lost some of my much need 8-9 hour sleepful nights, I turned on SpongeBob more than I ever wanted to, and I missed out on a week's worth of my husband's late night funny stories. All for The Help. I still have a lot of things going on in my mind about it. It really wasn't that long ago it all really happened. And it did happen. This book, along with To Kill a Mockingbird, let's us remember. And we should. We shouldn't walk around pretending it never did. And I forget. I do. Until I read books like The Help. Although it hasn't been long ago, a lot has changed. And I am truly, very thankful it has.
