I am embarrassed by this read. That’s right. Embarrassed. I am not saying this writer doesn’t have a
good ear, a skilled perception and talent for creating believable characters. She does have some of this, but the kind of status and praise this poorly and rather amateurishly constructed novel has achieved just leaves me wondering–big time–about people’s overall taste..Let me just put it this way.
Skeeter is a drag and a bore. She is this nice white girl who wants to help the black ‘help’ by writing their stories! Wow! Circa early 1960’s(…you don’t say?) And the best thing about this read are the black maids and their vivid perceptions of their dull white bosses. That’s really it. The author here does have talent. But she is still not so skilled at creating a hefty work of fiction that’s deftly constructed and indicative of a more seasoned writer.
I know it’s a first novel.
But this is no LIFE OF PI, or THE KITE RUNNER or even SIM0N LAZARUS–a brilliantly funny little story compared to this overly-touted, drawn-out mess!
