Michelle (LOVE-2-READ) - , reviewed on 5/26/2011 + 39 more book reviews

What can I say about this book that hasn't already been said? I feel obligated to write something about it since it's one of the best books I have read in years.

I was drawn in from the first page. The entire novel is riveting. The characters are wonderful, and it's such a great story that needed to be told.

I waited a year and a half to get this book on PBS, and was still waiting when I finally caved in and bought it for myself. I wish I hadn't waited so long to make that purchase! I almost always post my books here when I'm done reading them, but this one won't be leaving my house. I rarely re-read a book since I ascribe to the "too many books, too little time" philosophy, but even though I finished this book last night, I already want to pick it up and re-read it! I wish I'd bought the hardcover version instead of paperback since this one is a keeper and will become a classic of American literature.

All I need to know now: When will Ms. Stockett be writing her next novel?
