How did you think of the dog's eye?
I could not put this book down! Rare is the occassion when I choose fiction over non-fiction. I prefer reading memoirs because the stories really happened. Fiction writers often add details in the stories that don't sound believable. I know it's fiction, but I'm quickly turned off when a novel sites events that don't sound plausible. "The Help" is the rare novel that offers everything a reader could want in a good book. It's a true page-turner. One would never guess that this is Kathryn Stockett's debut novel. Her writing style is captivating. I generally don't enjoy books that have multiple narrators, but Stockett created such dynamic characters, she was able to pull it off beautifully. I would (and have) recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a Southern tale. I'm looking forward to reading more from Stockett in the future.
