This is one of those that I read because everyone kept saying it was fabulous... it wasn't.

Hmmm, surprisingly good. Endearing, funny, upsetting, shameful, warm, insightful.
Without a doubt, the best book I have read in 2010 thus far.
I stayed up especially late tonight to read the rest of this book. I am stunned by the voices and depth of character in this book. Skeeter, Minny, and Aibileen are all so richly developed and interesting. I can hear and imagine the houses they live in and the work they do. It's rare to read a book with such detailed descriptions that telling—but at the same time, not overly verbose.

its always hard to review a book when you are just about the last person to have read it - there is too much for it to live up to. That said, this book was very good. Not mind blowing, but very good. An easy read, a poignant story... looking forward to seeing the movie now.
