In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

What a great book. I"m so glad I decided to give it a listen. Usually after I've seen a movie I don't go back and read/listen to the book (I usually try to read the book first), but with the Help it didn't matter that I'd seen the movie previously (albeit many years ago). It was a rich and wonderful story and I highly recommend it.

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He's a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You're hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better.

Good story, interesting and well-written. A little dark for my tastes, but other than that I enjoyed it. Great narration.

Can you ever really know if love is true? And if it is, should you stop at anything to get it? Two decades ago, Erin Edwards was sure she’d already found the love of her life: Nate Lawson. Her first love. The one with whom she shared everything--dreams of the future, of children, plans for forever. The one she thought she would spend the rest of her life with. Until one terrible night when Erin made a mistake Nate could not forgive and left her to mourn the relationship she could never forget or get over.

Cute enough story, not spectacular

Is there anything you would change about this book?
A nice enough story. A bit predictable though. It was a bit too descriptive for a love story, if that's possible.
What about Orlagh Cassidy’s performance did you like?
I like Orlagh Cassidy better than the book.

What did you love best about Thin, Rich, Pretty?
I really enjoyed Shoe Addicts Anonymous and thought this would be a nice follow up. The story-line isn't nearly as good. Beth Harbison's books are very easy reading or, easy listening, if you will, It was cute enough- kept my attention during a long drive (but not detailed enough where you have to really listen, which I prefer while driving). I enjoy reading books with more substance, so it's not easy to find light books with good narration to listen to. All-in-all I would likely purchase again.
Would you recommend Thin, Rich, Pretty to your friends? Why or why not?
a few of my girlfriends, perhaps.
