I saw the movie Monday with a group of friends. It was okay. They were all older than me and half of them grew up with nannies. So I think they related to the movie a little more than I did. They have all read the book also. They did say the book was better than the movie. But they all still liked the movie.

I read it a few weeks ago. I am from the north and we never had any extra help at our house so I was unaware of this whole story. It was a very good read and was very informative too. I give the "help" alot of credit for all they did to raise the children and be good to the ladies who paid them. boy to me it was very eye opening!! Just loved the book.

Loved the book! I can't wait to see the movie. I've heard a couple of people say they liked the movie better.

Very good book. I read it last year and saw the movie last week. The movie follows the book very well.

Now I realize this topic belongs in reading forum. I don't know how to move it.
