No puedo hablar de este libro sin primero no hacer un breve análisis de todos los contenidos y vivencias que eh leído.
Este es un libro que tiene mucho corazón y valentía.
No solo nos enseña que hace menos de 50 años la gente tenía pensamientos tan retrogradas con respecto al color de nuestra piel sino que también nos enseña que el cambio que podemos hacer en el mundo comienza por nosotros.
Estas mujeres sabían que detrás del sufrimiento y la humillación había una oportunidad de poder dar a conocer tan callados sufrimientos.
Me gustaría ampliar lo que sentí leyendo esta historia. Pero recién lo termino y tengo que procesarlo.
Sin embargo, puedo decir que este libro es hermoso. Que nos trae muchas enseñanzas y se presta para que conozcamos ciertas realidades, que en estas épocas son inimaginables.

My favorite part was finding out that the voice of Minnie in the audiobook was the same person who acted the part in the movie AND was, in fact, the inspiration for the character in the first place.

I honestly didn't hear about this book until the movie was out ( helllooo where was I?), but as soon as I saw Emma Stone's face, I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. I love that girl!
I also love books written in this time period about this subject. As hard as it is to read about it's not only an important part of history, but a topic that needs to be talked about.
I loved Stockett's characters in this book. I felt a real connection with Skeeter, thinking differently than her friends. I loved Minny the most and her whit. I also loved to hate Hilly Holbrook and what she stood for, and I was hoping someone would punch her in the face, but the 'Terrible Awful' was pretty sweet too.
The book isn't terribly fast-paced, but having three POV's to follow makes it move along quite smoothly. I highly recommend this book , and I am excited to watch the movie because from what I've seen in the trailer, it follows pretty close to the book. it took me MONTHS for my turn to borrow it in the library but I'm so glad I got the chance to read it. I really enjoyed it.
