The best thing about my book is how it is written. Each character has their own time to tell the story am their story from their perspective. While at times this could get confusing because you don't know what character is talking, i think it helps the flow of the story and it helps you see how all the characters connect. The main characters that are mostly writing are all what the book calls "The Help" or the maids. They each write about what is going on in their life, but all of them somehow come together and meet in the story or can at least relate to each other.
One other really good thing about my book "The Help" is that it is written in a southern way of talking, which i thought i wouldn't like, but its actually really cool to read it that way. One other thing that i like about the book is in the back, the author out her own story of growing up in the south and how her life can relate to the things happening in the book.
I highly suggest reading this book. I think the quote of the front explains it perfectly. It says "This could be one of the most important pieces of fiction since To Kill A Mockingbird...If you only read one book...let this be it" (NPR.org).
(This picture is a scene from the movie "The Help", which i suggest seeing)
I haven't read this book but I did see the movie and it was really good I assume the book is really good too.
ReplyDeleteHey Ruth!
ReplyDeleteI have heard so many great things about this book. Your post really did it for me...I will have to seriously consider this book as my summer read. Thanks for reminding me about this book.
I have heard great things about this book! The way you siad it's written, with the different character perspectives, reminds me of the Heroes of Olympus series. Each chapter focusses on the life of one of the main demigods of the story. Also I think it's cool that the author wrote in a southern accent, l absolutely love when people have accents!
ReplyDeleteI love this movie but i haven't read the book. It sounds really good though how the author changes perspectives.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same way, structure wise, that my book is written. I really like it how it is structured. I think I would like the southern slang added.
