Amazing! I absolutely loved this book! For a first attempt, WOW, I am looking forward to what Kathryn Stockett comes up with next! I couldn't put this book down. Normally I probably wouldn't have chosen a book about the 1960s Civil Rights Era. However a friend recommended it to me and I thought I would try it. But this book was fascinating. I loved the way there were 3 distinct main characters and how the chapters were each written from the perspective of each of those characters. I did not find it confusing at all, because each character talked so differently that it was easy to keep track of who was who. I find it amazing that a white woman could so easily write about the lives of the black maids in Mississippi in the 1960s. The way she wrote their words, I could honestly hear them talking in my head. Very realistic! Loved it loved it loved it and would highly recommend!!!
