I'm a mom of 3 kids, and I love to read and watch movies, and I'm picky about what my kids read and watch.

BOOK: The Help

The Help
by Kathryn Stockett

I'm glad my book club chose this so I would read it before the movie comes out.  Well, I'm also glad because I really enjoyed the book.  I feel like I was the last person on earth to read it.  It seems everyone I know had been raving about it, and it deserves the praise.  It's well-written (another first time novelist.... I'm impressed), entertaining, funny and touching.  There is some PG-13 language, mostly the s-word, and adult themes, so I wouldn't recommend this for anyone under 18.
