I’ve been eyeing the In Death series for quite a while, so I’m hoping its a good read.

I haven’t read in a little while, to be honest, but this book was amazing to come back to.  I have never read something that made me feel this emotional! I laughed at all humor, I cried when Celia lost her baby, I got angry at Leroy.  It is truely a great read and I would recommend it to everyone.

I have never lived in a society like this, so I couldn’t relate it to my own life.  However, every single person in this day and age is taught in school the oppression in the earlier years in America.  Everyone knows slaves were whipped, beaten, and brutely murdered. We learn this history so we don’t repeat it.  But then we are taught about the Rosa Parks years, where African Americans were still fighting to be equal.  We learn about sit ins and marches, but we don’t get into so much detail about the every day lives of these people.  Not every black person in America marched with Martin Luther King.  They were at work, at home, living it.  This book makes you understand really what people went through.

Sometimes, when I finish a good book, I feel an emptiness inside.  Like, “I don’t know how I ever lived without reading this book, and I don’t know what I’m going to do now that it’s over!”.  The Help definitely made me feel that again!

That’s it for my little opinion!
