This book has been on my tbr for so long I feel ashamed I didn't pick this up earlier — better late than never, though, and there were so many layers to the story that I know I'll be rereading this some day. The court scene was my favourite, I felt like I was holding my breath the whole time I was reading it.

2- 4 

La verdad no sé si me gustó o estoy terriblemente decepcionada. 

Este libro es conocido por tratar el racismo pero para mi es ante todo un coming-of -age que usa el racismo para explorar diferencias entre niños y adultos; y cómo procesamos información y vemos el mundo. Esta parte creo que fue escrita de manera adecuada, y si bien es una representación de una niñez prácticamente extinta, tiene un sentimientos universal que podemos reconocer. 

El racismo por otro lado, es tratado la mayoría del tiempo con un tono santurrón de “poner la otra mejilla” y de “combatir el racismo con amabilidad y cortesía”, que fue insoportable de leer, sobre todo considerando que las charlas moralistas vienen de blancos.  

Lo dejo en 4 estrellas porque para mi es un coming-of-age pero me queda el sentimiento que yo no le vi lo que todos parecen ver en este libro, sobre todo no entiendo el amor que genera el personaje de Atticus.
