A few days ago, I went to see the movie version of The Help. My wife had read the book by Kathryn Stockett on which that the movie was based and said it was a good book and she hoped the movie was as good. I wasn’t so sure about being a good movie, but went anyway. We got there early as we expected a big crowd. Unfortunately, that meant 20 minutes previewing movies that did not interest me and watching advertisements which were of even less interest. The movie started and didn’t look promising. I was worried and just hoped I didn’t start snoring loud enough to disturb those around me. But after a few minutes I was completely taken by the movie.

I am told it was a good book and there is a long waiting list at the library for it. So if you are in any hurry to read “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett, you might want to check at Amazon to see how much the paperback or Kindle edition will cost. Come to think of it, you might want to buy more books there to take advantage of the free shipping.
