Great Book

I never thought that listening to the book Helpwas going to be so moving and it had me laughing and at times sad, It was really Good. I watched the movie way before I listened to Help and I very much enjoyed listening to it more than watching you can use your imagination.

It's as good as everyone says....

It is beautifully read... at even at 18 hours you don't want it to end.

As my mother said, "That's the way it was."

I was just a little girl when the Civil Rights marches were taking place. My mother called me into the living room to watch the historic sights on our tv. As I listened to this book, I felt like I was getting a real life glimpse inside the reason for the demonstrations. A memorable novel that is ever so much more incredible on Audible. I have listened multiple times and love the characters more each time.

Loved it!!

I loved this audio book. Three different narrators were all great with accents and timing, as well as a great story.

Great! Highly recommend

The characters really come to life. Great narration. I did not want it to end. Highly recommend!
