Great message following mature themes but it didnt grip me. I disliked the first few chapters because there was a bunch of info dumping so reading it felt like sandpaper and i had to plow through it. The court scenes were easily my favourites even tho i have no interest in law so that says something ig. Could of easily cut down to 28 or 27 chapters, a 3 star book for me.

* If your looking for a book that talks about the racist problems poc people face id suggest a differnet book, one written by a person who actually experienced racism.

* This was written by a white woman with mostly white characters carrying the "white saviour complex" and she just adds in racial slurs whenever wich ( as a white person) can pull you out the story because reading it feels wrong. I get the whole point of the book is how divided the white and black comunities are but reading this with a modern perspective makes the writing come off a bit privleged.

Listen. To give a bit of context about how uncomfortable this book is to read. The n-word is used 48 times in this book and there are 281 pages. Meaning every 4 pages there is a slur or 2. 

An overated book in my opinion and i will not be reading the next one. 
(exucse my spelling mistakes you can blame Miss Dyslexia)

If the subjects of Racism, Rape or abuse triggers you then this isnt the book for you because that is the main focus.

Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em. But remember, it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” 
A much beloved classic throughout generations, To Kill a Mockingbird enraptured me just as it has to readers of all ages. I don’t think I can say much more that hasn’t already been said but I was pleasantly surprised at the extent of which I enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading the sequel

Obviously a classic so it’s good. Southern setting felt homey and I think it does a good job of talking about racism and sexism for it’s time. Not perfect since it’s set in 1930s Alabama but I do think it’s effective. Other books like Secret Life of the Bees and The Help try and fail to do what To Kill a Mockingbird had already done.
