I'm looking for the book, The Help. I've read all of VC Andrews series, all to do with children. She had an imagination when it came to writing about children. All, of which, could have been actual lives of children....makes me wonder. I wanted to see The Help this weekend but now, since I do remember how much the movie and book differed, I'm read the book first. I read Flowers in the Attic, there were actually 5 books in that series. I read them all several times.
Let me know what you think???
Chat later,

What book are you going to buy? Flowers in the attic series? I read that series probably 5 times. True the movie Sucked really bad.
Right now I am reading The Twilight Saga again for probably the 5th or 6th time. And I've watched the movies umpteen times too.
My daughter just finished reading Flowers in the attic about a month ago too.
Let me know what you think???

I read V. C. Andrews's Flowers in the Attic series back in the late 1970's and the book was soooo much more detailed and alot better than the movie. I don't usually read the books and watch the movies since then. I was really disappointed in the movie after reading the book first.
I think I'm going to look online and buy the book now. Lets see if it's better or not.

Saw the movie the weekend it came out, reading the book now. Loved the movie and enjoying the book. I've come to the conclusion that I will always see the movie before reading the book because when I do it the other way I am always disappointed in the movie.

The Help book was definately better than the movie!!!! If I had seen the movie without reading the book, I'm not sure I could have followed the story line as well. A lot of significant scenes were left out of the movie.
