I loved the main characters in this story. Aibeleen and Minny's point-of-views were my favorite. I didn't particularly care for Skeeter's pov, but I understand her role in the story and why she was chosen as a narrator. Maybe it does seem frilly because it's told from a woman's point-of-view, and th...
February 2012: I'm giving this book another chance. I'm enjoying it better this time around.2010: I didn't finish this book. It dragged too much and I didn't feel anything for the characters.
I felt like the last girl on earth still not having read this book, but I tried not to expect anything specific out of it.Nevertheless, I couldn't stop thinking how right they'd gotten the film.

I loved this book. It is written in such a way, that a few chapters into reading it, I felt as if I was one of the characters. Filled with witty characters that are both easy to love and hate, and all around believable this was a great book, and would make a perfect summer read.
