The Help by Kathryn Stockett

medium-paced
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

2.5

It was a pretty smooth-paced read with enough plot interest to keep me reading, but the character development fell flat. It read like a white-savior complex on paper and seemed to dump the reader off at the end as if the author just wanted to be done rather than to give real closure. Rather disappointing.
