While the author has a nice literary style, she is not a very good story teller. Her characters are not sympathetic and seem to get what they deserve. Unfortunately, the book seems like a series of tweets rather than a historical narrative.

Come ON, people, this book was rediculous. The author’s attemps at African American dialect and slang of the time was off from the first page, onward. and her overuse of stereotypes was pathetic. I am a white female, have lived in the South my whole life and this book left me embarrased and offended for any African Americans unfortunate enough to pick up this piece of work. I can see that the author had good intentions, but otherwise, this was terribly written. Did you happen to take a look at her picture on the back inside cover? She is a very typical cutesy, privleged, white female…and she is unsuccessfully trying to write in the voice of an elder black poor woman. Since Stockett has used stereotypes so abundantly, I suppose it would be safe to say that her readers can do the same. Assuming that she, the cutesy white Southern woman is no doubt familiar with “Help”, has probably had it her entire life, but obviously hasn’t concerned herself with said “Help” past them getting her home and dirty laundry cleaned in a timely fashion. Had she paid close enough attention to them, she might have been better able to write in their voices.

Note to the “Author”:
Dear Ms. Stockett, please stick to the White privleged life that you know, and realize that just because you have had Help your entire life does not entitle you to write as one. I am disgusted. You ARE the white woman who gives the rest of the White, higher income, female community the snooty, uppity and all around bad reputaion that we have. The only thing you have accomplished by this awful thing that you call a “novel” (that you no doubt wrote in between soccer caravans and in bed late at night on a legal pad) is telling everyone that stereotypes are OK. So please save some trees, the world and everyone in it from a second novel. Thank you for your time and attention. ~Reader
