The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Let's be honest, this book is a little too long.  It's around 500 pages.  That's more than half the bible!  Oh well, the story is important.  I love the fact that everyone had two sides.  Some you can see more than others, but nevertheless, two. 
If I were Skeeter, I'd be depressed about Stuart.  Number one, there doesn't seem to be any chemistry.  The only reason there was something going on is that Skeeter had a low self-esteem and she couldn't believe that someone as "popular" as Stuart would have a thing for her.  However, Stuart needed a rebound.  So, I'm glad they didn't end up together---she deserved someone better.
If I were Aibileen, and while I got threatened by Hilly for stealing, I'd confront Elizabeth and say she's a coward, always listening to Hilly.  Doesn't she have a mind of her own?
Then, there's the strong but soft Minny.  I don't know how to be in her place.  If someone was to physically abuse me, I wouldn't stay with them. 
All my answers are obvious and simple, but life just isn't that case.
Did anyone see the movie?  I did, and I loved it.  Stuart was really handsome!  I couldn't believe it was Piz from Veronica Mars.  He looks way better with short hair =)
