The Help by Kathryn Stockett

I just devoured this book.  Recently, I've fallen in love with checking out e-books from my public library and reading them on my iPhone through the Overdrive app.  It is not only convenient but completely free!

The characters are loveable without being too soft.  The stories are realistic enough to make you a little uncomfortable at the most appropriate points in each story.  A friend recommended this book to me and after months of waiting on the public library's hold list, it was finally my turn.  It is without a doubt one of the best books I've read in awhile.  On to the next one!




As I've said many times before, I'm not great at book summaries.  THIS NYT article provides a great synopsis and critique of the novel.
