I had a hard time stopping while reading this book. When I wasn't reading it I found myself thinking of the characters and wondering what they were going to do next. The plot was fantastic. I found all the characters fascinating. However, I do wish there was even just one chapter for Miss Hilly & Miss Celia. Aibileen was my favorite character. Her love for white people is amazing, she seems to have a heart of gold. Though Miss Skeeter and her "risks" are admirable. I find it different for Aibileen as she is the one who has been mistreated her whole life and could have had a heart such as Minny's in the beginning. I'm looking forward to Kathryn Stockett's future books. I imagine The Help will be hard to follow up.
