I finished it last night and I hate to say it but.......it was AWFUL! This book was such a disappointment. The last 100 pages ruined the whole thing.....I was a huge Dan Brown fan but this book was terrible.marvelmite wrote:My wife is giving me that for christmas so I ahve to wait yet another month to get it. I've heard it's good but you say it's written as if just for the movie? THat makes me kinda sadHalfway through "The Lost Symbol" makes me sad that it is clearly written to be a movie.

The Help is about a young white woman in the early 1960s in Mississippi who becomes interested in the plight of the black ladies' maids that every family has working for them. She writes their stories about mistreatment, abuse and heartbreaks of working in white families' homes, all just before the Civil Rights revolution.
This is a book about love and suffering, hatred and faith, fear and courage. It is about women of strength and dignity who carry on and manage to care about others despite an unjust system. It is a beautiful book, unforgettable in many ways. It is touching, thought-provoking, humorous and compelling.
