Several people in the village mentioned how good "The Help" was, so I put it on my Christmas list & just started reading it a few nights ago.
I am not getting enough sleep
! From the first chapter the characters are so well drawn, & as I got closer to the middle of the book it became a real page turner. Last night I was reading on the couch, & told myself one hour & then to bed. When I looked up to check the clock over two hours had gone by.
The author writes so beautifully. I'm up to The Benefit chapter, & am a little apprehensive about how everything that has come before will play out & how the book will end. Can't wait to dive into again tonight, & really hope it has a happy ending.
PS -- count me among those who also like Debbie Macomber & the feel of a real book in my hand
