3.5 rounded up. Being that the movie is one of my all-time favorites, I expected to enjoy the book more than I did. The timeline jumped around quite a bit. So much, that had I not seen the movie, I would’ve been very lost. I did enjoy hearing more details about some of the supporting characters, however. Great story, great characters, I just would have liked the timeline to have been a little more linear.

Loved the Towanda of it all! Some of the characters' language around race is hard to listen to, but mostly stems from the setting and age of the book. (audiobook version)

I was about to DNF this at about 20% and I would have really missed out. This is why I didn't give it 5, but 4.75. 
Later on I hadn't realised how invested I was and how much I loved Ninny and the last chapters of this book even made me cry.
