Why you should read "The Help" (2)

     "The Help" looked like a very interesting and well thought-out book. I was interested in picking this book because the movie for it was coming out and i had heard really good reviews on the book. Whenever i see that a movie is coming out for a book, it always makes me want to read that book before i see the movie. Then i can compare the two on which one was better and i can see the book come to life. I can also see what details are missing from the book or what details were added in the movie. I think that books are always better because you can put more detail into books and add more characterization into the story line and make the story more alive. I feel like movies sometimes let us down because the people that choose to play the roles of the character or the way they act out the story line is not the way we thought the story would play out so we just end up liking the book better.
     One other reason why i chose to read the help is that the cover was bright and yellow and drew my attention. I know that people say don't judge a book by it's cover, but the cover of a book really does help in the decision of whether you will read that book or not. Sure, books that don't have amazing covers could still be amazing books, but ones that have more amazing covers are more likely to be noticed and read. The bright yellow cover made me notice the book and wonder what it was about. One other thing that made me pick the book is the reviews and the all of my friends saying that it was really good. most likely, if my friends like a book, i usually will. I would suggest reading the book because i think you will love it.

  3. I have heard about the movie coming out and the book and it sounded interesting to me as well! I have only read one book that I have also seen the movie, The Lucky One, and it was almost a tie for me. I wish to read some more books that also have movies so I can see for myself what everyone is talking about:)
