The Help by Kathryn Stockett
4.0
A very fun read, I couldn't put it down. All the charcters were fun to follow and felt different when it would have been too easy for them to feel like a stereotype. I also adore the relationships the characters develop with each other throughout the story.
I will say though that the book doesn't challenge your preconceived notions of race and I would say it takes the approach of "bad people are racist people" rather than how racism exists and continues to exist because of a system and people with power benifitting from it. This was the only problem I had with it though and other than that, I loved it.
