A New Tom's Cabin?

"This could be one of the most important pieces of fiction since To Kill a Mockingbird..."

I have to agree so far. Stockett is doing an awesome job of showing us the world of the south in 1962. I find myself getting so angry at the way the white women are treating their help. The only one I'm finding redeemable right now is Skeeter because she's willing to expose everyone she knows for their attitude. 

Seeing what will happen should Skeeter get everything in print the way she wants will definitely be interesting. The way she thinks and Aibileen and Minny think in regards to what'll happen makes me think of Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Lincoln's words when he met her were, "So you're the little lady who caused this great big war," showed how powerful the book was. I have to wonder if Skeeter's work could be a close second.

I found myself nervous for Minny until Johnny appeared. At the moment, he seems like a very likeable man. Hopefully things will work out. I'd love to know what's going on with Celia. I'm sure (and hope) I'll find out soon.
