I love books told from different perspectives. The only thing I don't like about that is just when I'm getting into the story of one character - BOOM - we change to another! :)

I couldn't believe this was Stockett's first novel. What a wonderful story! At first I was a little put off by how Aibilene spoke - her grammar was hard to follow. But, wow, you soon forget that and just get into the story!

Lots of laugh out loud moments. As well as some very thought provoking moments. I didn't live through this time period and it really made me think of those who did, what they went through and how they lived.

I had these gals pictured in my head - every last one of them! Great story and a must-read!
