…Truly one of the best books I’ve read in a long, long time. It doesn’t happen often that I thrust a book into the hands of my friends and family, but I can’t stop cramming this one down everyone’s throats. I haven’t met a person that was disappointed yet.

I absolutely adored the way that Kathryn Stockett built the relationships in this book. The character development of the main voices was superb. I would love to read a sequel that puts us in the minds of the other characters, some of which came through as being rather evil in the story line. As a northerner, largely sheltered from the evolving civil rights movement of the 60’s, I found the interactions between the family and their help riveting, heartwarming and at times, heart breaking. While its so hard for me to imagine some of these circumstances, Stockett kept me glued to the pages to learn more.

At the end, I felt good. I felt triumphant for the main characters and sure that their journey helped to drive some change.
