Have just finished reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett (recommended to me by Katieowl)

Bloody brilliant book. Couldn't put in down. Finished it last night...and am now struggling to think what I should read next  |

I have to agree it was a great read and I'm looking forward to the film. It was one of the first ebooks I read when I got my iPad. If anyone out there wants to read it on ibooks or Kindle PM me and I'm happy to email it. |

Yes - definitely one of the best books I've read in years. Couldn't put it down. |

I saw the book in French on sale today and thought I might give it a go ... until I turned to the back. €24.80 if FAR too much to pay for a paperback, even a big one and a good read  |

The Forsyte Saga all three. I have read hundreds of books but none as good as them. |

We have just read The Help for our local Book Club and the next one that we have just started is Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro - it looks as though it may be quite an emotional read |
