Today I just finished
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and I decided to start a new book. My mom bought me
The Help (at Mrs. Leitsch's recommendation) for Christmas and I haven't put it down. My family is watching a movie and I am in the corner reading this book:) It is about the state of Mississippi in 1962, told in the pov of two African-American maids, and a young (20s) white girl who questions segregation. I am pretty far in the book, and it is very "fun" to read. The maids talk very southern, so you kind of have to sound it out in your head. Ex. ("Law" actually means "Lord"). This book goes very fast, too. Every minute or so you're already turning to a new page. I feel like I will finish this book before the end of break at the speed I'm going. This book doesn't really remind me of anything yet, but the maid Aibileen kind of reminds me of Madea from "Madea's Witness Protection" but that's it. I normally read Holocaust books, because my English teacher last year had a lot of them. If you're in the same boat as me, and have never read about a topic like this, I think you will really like this book. If you haven't seen the movie yet, I think it would be even better to read because you don't know the ending.
