The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Fantastic book! It's hard to believe that people can be so small-minded as to judge each other based on skin color.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Absolutely riveting; I read it in two days. Stockett has a remarkable gift for storytelling, and does a wonderful job of smoothly transitioning the narrative between the voices of the three main characters. A beautiful tale: heartbreaking but uplifting, poignant but hilarious, incredible (in the true sense of the word) and yet so full of truth. This is the best book I have read in years. Highly recommend!
