This book was very very good. Aibileen is such an incredible fictional character, her compassion and love for Mae Mobley and all the kids she raised is amazing I want to give her a hug. Minny made me laugh almost every time she was talking, but also she had a wonderful story. Skeeter is a a great character as well, also can you give me five minutes behind a barn with Hilly. I would love to punch her. Celia is so sweet, I liked her a lot.  I think Stuart and Skeeter were a good couple, but he flipped out in the end and left sooo. Overall awesome book about life in southern states in the 50’s  I would give it a 11 out of 10 if I could.
when Minny told the story of the pie, OH MY GOSH I was dead!!! That was hilarious. Hilly deserved every single bit of that.
