This book is an emotional roller coaster: heart warming, disturbing, funny in some parts, sad in others. It was a good historical fiction highlighting a brave group of women.

I really liked this one. To be fair, I saw the movie first and it really did well sticking to the book. What I liked better about the book was the closer connection I felt with the characters. The overall story is a good one.

I don't think Stockett did a good job on providing black women with a job. The main character Skeeter is annoying and I know she is there to show how white people are sheltered and don't understand the hardships of black people especially black women. I feel like she does a good job in looking at women and sexism but it's obvious the experiences are written by a white woman who does not know a whole lot about what happens and the misogynoir black women face everyday.
