To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

This book is very easy to read. Tells the story from a point of view of a 9 year old kid. What bothers me the most is how it ends. Its more of an anticlimax for me.

Never in my life have I truly loved a character as much as i love Atticus Finch. What an epitome of a man of honour, a knight without an armour and a man of morals. This Alabama lawyer of the 1930s embodies all the good qualities a human could possibly posses and constantly tries to do his very best in raising his two kids, who tend to be quite unbearable at times. 

I really appreciated the double standards analysis of Scout's regarding her teachers views on Nazi antisemitism and American racism.

While book felt outdated at certain moments, I still do find it more than worth the read.

Scout is the guide through the journey of this book, a badass humourous brave young girl

The first part is really boring. Scout is really rude to everyone. I was reading the book with the audiobook, and the accent from Alabama bothered me; they talked really fast and eat some of the letters. In the beginning, it was difficult to me to understand and connected with the characters.

However, the second part was awesome. The trial part was amazing and got me thinking about nowadays and how we deal with racism. We aren't better than them. The world didn't get better, we just pretend that it is.
