First impressions about The Help

I think The Help is one of the best books I have read. I have only read the first four chapters but I am already thrilled to read the next chapter. Chapter 4 ended with Minny hiding at Miss Foote's house because she worked secretly for Miss Foote at her home and kept it a secret to Mister Johnny. The main characters in the book all have different characteristics. There is Miss Skeeter, Hilly, Leefolt-The help: Ailbileen, Minny as the maid. The chapters in the book are written in different characters perspectives. I think that is a more affective and interesting way of telling the story to the readers. The question that comes up in Chapter 1 is when Miss Skeeter asks Ailbileen, it was a question about making changes in their society. This question shows that there will be changes occruing in the reading as we read more into it.
