So I just read "The Help" and then watched the film. I wish Kathryn Stockett had written more.

I'd love to keep reading her. Sigh. Get it if you haven't. Viola Davis. Octavia Spencer. Wow.

They had to skip entire plotlines to get it all in. Lots of important background and detail on the maids was skipped to shorten it. You'll enjoy the book.
