New Book!

I am very excited that I (finally) finished Water For Elephants. I enjoyed the book so much. As good as finishing a book feels, starting a new one is a struggle for me. I chose to start reading  The Help by Kathryn Stocket. It is known to be an amazing book according to NPR.org "This could be one of the most important pieces of fiction since To Kill a Mockingbird...If you only read one book...let this be it." I do enjoy this book so far because i can tell there is a strong meaning to it and very serious topic.

On the other hand this book is hard to follow along with. In the past few days I've only gotten to about page 20. This is probably because of the context of how the book is written. It is about Aibileen, a black maid in 1962 Jackson, Mississipi. For example "a" is substituted for "of": page 5 "She set her pocketbook on the chair, kind a itch around in her clothes a second." The word "a" in replacement for "of" is starting to distract me from the book. There are other words like "ain't" and more grammatically incorrect sentences take away from the book in my perspective, but I do understand it is supposed to be Aibileen telling the story and give more insight of the character.
