The Help by Kathryn Stockett

5.0

I admit, I usually can't stand bestsellers - they just aren't my thing. But this one rises above the pack, and really is just that good. I was initially irritated by the choice to make one of the characters a wanna-be writer, just because that is the lamest, most unimaginative, Mary-Sue-ish thing to do with your character, I think. But here it was actually a plot point, not something to make the character look "cool". And I loved it. Couldn't put it down, couldn't stop thinking about it, couldn't wait to finish. Great narrative voices, with good distinction between the three.
