The Help, by Kathryn Stockett, is a great book because the different angles of the plotline give the reader a fuller view of the story. It allows the reader to be immersed within the book and relate closely with the characters. While all of us may not be black maids or white socialites in Jackson, Mississippi, the emotions tie the reader in. If social gatherings and fried chicken are your cup of tea, then The Help would be my recommendation.

The Help follows three different women in the 1960s when segregation and integration was a highly debated topic. Kathryn Stockett uses the interesting method of using the women's voices to tell their stories, as opposed to having one set speaker. I recommend this book because it stimulates the reader to think about the changes, whether great or small, that the United States has endured. The Help was a book I loved because of the writing techniques and the story overall.
