I really loved this book. I thought each character was fully fleshed out and developed, especially the three main narrators. The town, the people living in it, the cliques, the social norms of the time, felt so real it seemed like I was living in that era while reading the book. And as a testament to Stockett's talents, I was relieved not to be actually living in that era and to only experience it while reading the book. My only complaint is that I felt the book was kind of anticlimactic and I would've liked to have had more closure with the main characters, and that one in particular, should've gotten more of a comeuppance. But I'm a sucker for happy endings and the ending in The Help was probably much more realistic. Still, a great read that I'd recommend to anyone.
