The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Finally a good book! I'm pretty sure everyone knows what this book is about already since the movie has been playing for a couple of week now, but in case not... it's the story of two black maids and a while girl living in the early 1960's. Skeeter returns from college and makes it her mission to write a book about the racial segregation of the South, but you'll have to read it to see just how far she'll go to get her point across. 450 pages and worth every one of them. Two thumps up!
