RYCJ liked Tonya's review of The Help:
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
"Impressed with how she tackled this subject matter from the viewpoint of Black folks in the South during 20th century segregation. The obliviousness of the white families, who thought they treated their help "like family", was surprisingly candid. I had to step away for a day or two because I needed a break from Hilly - couldn't stomach her for a while; good character to reveal. She existed."

Totally did not expect the overall deep dive. It reached the point where no matter how I felt about (for instance) incidents such as the Monopoly game he played with his family, or the Gigi/Jada prank, I had to respect his raw honesty. His personality really shines through his memories, which on top is his drive and devotion to his career. YES SIR!!! Everything comes second to the dream!

And still, most unforgettable and forever touching are the insecurities he lay bare� and the making of the Ali movie. Indeed, the tears fell. The bungee jumping was just the icing on this cake. What a sweet landing. Loved it. Highly recommended. ]]>
