Honestly loved this book so much I can’t believe I haven’t read it sooner. Obviously don’t love all of the language in it but man… what a great story.

was absolutely gutted when Tom was found guilty and then died

idek what to say about this. fantastic use of symbols and a plot that isn't slow even though it includes 3 years of events. part one is alright (setting up the pieces on the board) but part two is amazing. harper lee really builds an image of scout's neighborhood and the people living in maycomb. i feel this town is doomed forever and simultaneously hopeful that they can change. lots of discussion of racism, gender, and class divides throughout that are so important but i feel like i cant even articulate my words for what needs to be said about them so just read the damn book please

This is a classic for a reason! The characters took me back to childhood while the plot around the trial brought up so many emotions for humanity and a desire for justice and truth.

I will give this book five stars out of 5!! That's pretty rare from me😂.

⭐- 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.

⭐- 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.

⭐- The language!! No tough words, but every sentence expresses a thousand different things. 

⭐- 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.

⭐- 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. 

⭐- What else I will say??🤣. Add all the praise you can. It's a gem of a book! You won't regret picking it up!!

😺- I have my fingers crossed for Walter. I am cribbing to see him and Scout together 😂.
