2.5
Though very stereotypical (Cannot expect a lot as the author is white writing about black women) when it comes to the black women in the book, Stockett does try her best or let's say to the best of her abilities. The story is probably more emotional and less political, I wish it was more thought out, more researched. Stockett doesn't let the reader linger on something too long, which is suc6a shame but does help her in a way because then one doesn't realise how poorly thought out the book is.
