The Help Giveaway
Tevya and I are both big fans of The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I was so excited when I found out that they were making it into a movie. So, this morning I took myself over to the theater and saw the first showing. This film made me laugh and cry. I am not always a fan of my favorite books making it to the big screen - very rarely do they get things right and often the characters don't match those I saw in my head. However, I have to say that they did a pretty good job with the casting and plot of this one. Granted not everything from the book made it into the movie, but I really feel like they kept the important parts and remained true to the book. I loved seeing all the characters come to life. Skeeter, Minnie, Celia, and Hilly came across so well on the big screen. I was really impressed that the actresses were able to capture these characters perfectly.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! I have been wanting to read this book forever but haven't gotten my hands on a copy yet. I'm dying to see what all the fuss is about.
ReplyDelete@Maria - Currently our giveaways have come from books we have on hand so for shipping reasons we have it limited to the US and Canada. We will try to do an international giveaway in the future.
