Such an interesting read. It really makes you think about how it would be like to live in that time. As I could not imagine thinking people who aren’t white are not equal to me. I know non-whites still face racism today. But to think of how they were treated back then is just awful. But I liked that Jen, Dill and Scout all thought it was wrong what they were doing to Tom Robinson. It shows childhood innocence and that people are taught to be racist they aren’t born that way, and because their father hadn’t raised them to be they weren’t.

A literary classic that is extremely relevant in 2024. I read this as a child several times but wanted to revisit it as an adult. It is a quick read but still worthwhile and remains a favorite of mine.

A beautifully written book. I was assigned to read it for my English class, and I was amazed to how much I ended up liking it. The beginning was a little slow, but after it got really good. I especially love the writing of Boo Radley and Scout.
