β- The storyline had everything in it. A touch of suspense, emotions, highs and lows. And most importantly, life lessons. Lessons which show us how easy it is to go on walking down the wrong path. But, once you do what's right, the whole world gets upside down.
β- Characters. I certainly fell in love with them within a few chapters. The relationship among them is described amazingly. I have grown quite fond of the bond of Atticus with his kids.
β- The language!! No tough words, but every sentence expresses a thousand different things.
β- Character growth, the author doesn't just write 'After one year' to show that time has passed. The characters change in behaviour tells me so. As if I also grew up a lot with these two kids and a single father.
β- Perfect pacing. No point in the story felt hurried or too slow. It hasn't any groundbreaking plot twists but presented in such a way that it will succeed to shock you.
β- What else I will say??π€£. Add all the praise you can. It's a gem of a book! You won't regret picking it up!!
πΊ- I have my fingers crossed for Walter. I am cribbing to see him and Scout together π.

When reading this book everyone should think deeply about it.
Some things to question:
How does the experience for black men in America today compare to the experience of black men in America in the 1930s especially in regards to the criminal justice system?
How does Mayella use her white privilege to weaponize the oppression that she faces because she is a woman? Would you consider what she did to be a good example of white woman's tears and how harmful it is?
While reading this book is important, I think it is MORE important to read books about black experiences written by black authors as well as books about black people that have themes other than racism. If you read and liked this book and want to learn about and how to help take down racism my advice to you is to diversify your reading list with characters and authors of color (especially black ones).
