    i would love to win THE HELP please can u make my wish come true

  42. Rowena Miles | 16th Jun 11

    If you haven’t read The Help then get a copy. It is a brilliant read about racial tensions in the deep south of America and concentrates on the relations and friendships built with the books characters.

  43. Rachel ezekwugo | 16th Jun 11

    I can’t wait to see the movie!! I haven’t read the book but would love a copy…

  44. Antonella | 15th Jun 11

    Loved the book, Susanna. I just hope the film will do it justice. From the clip it lokks promising though. All the best. Ciao. A.

  45. lullabell | 15th Jun 11

    would love to win a copy of The Help 🙂

  46. Cari | 14th Jun 11

    Torn! Loved the book – but so often film versions disappoint, not least because they will never match the pictures you have built up in your head. I’m sure I will go and see it – but with trepidation!

  47. Muddling Along | 12th Jun 11

    Oh dear it doesn’t look too close to the book but it was a very good book – will be interesting to see it

  48. karen86 | 11th Jun 11

    Would really like to read The Help

  49. Sarah Spencer | 10th Jun 11

    i have’nt read “The Help” as yet but would like too.

  50. Jayne | 10th Jun 11

    Looks like ‘The Help’ will be the must-see film of Autumn 2011. Would love to read the book first though…

  51. Anthea | 10th Jun 11

    The trailer is great and has certainly sold the movie to me! Looks like a movie with many layers that will hit all your emotions (fantastic). I haven’t read the book, to be honest I have to shamefully admit I haven’t read anything since my girls were born. I can’t get past a few pages of anything without falling asleep!

  52. Caryne Pearce | 10th Jun 11

    Would be good to win a copy of The Help.

  53. Iota | 9th Jun 11
