I finished last night...Somehow I was waiting to see more pages. It made me sad that Aibileen lost her job, mainly because of Mae Mobley. I didn't want her to stay alone with her mama, who sees more flaws than anything else on poor Mae Mobley. I think because I have a daughter the same age as her, the parts describing how her mama treated her made me particularly angry. But what can I expect with Elizabeth having the mom she has. All her parenting skills came from her...
I'm glad that Aibileen got the job at the paper (she deserves it), that Minny finally left Leroy and that Miss Skeeter went to New York. I think it was a good ending for everyone, even though I was hoping to see Stuart back with the ring.
Overall, I think it was a good book. Everybody that saw me with the book (including librarians) told me that the book was "quite a read"...I think they were right.
As some of you, I was also waiting to see more pages… and suddenly, the book just finished! :) I was expecting to see Stuart back too. I thought he was different, and really in love with Skeeter, beyond and above all the conventionalism and archaic people of Jackson.
