This book contains some heavy topics...and adresses them in a mostly good way.

It really took some time getting into the story as the first person narrator is not all knowing but the story gets told from the subjective perspective of a little girl.
But the choice of the narrator was also great because you do not just take on the opinion of the person that narrates the story and it realistically portrays how little children deal with such societal issues as in racism or sexism plus as this book covers years the development of Scout's character is really interesting.

I especially liked the variety of opinions and characters introduced as it represents society (then and now).
So even though this book was written years ago and about the early 2000s these themes are still current and thus the teachings are quite important and helpful.

It's very well written, it gets you hooked and I think what makes it especially interesting is the point of view of a child who is growing up and learning about society and societal expectations.

My criticism is that it has a problem with white saviourism and I found it hard to believe that Atticus Finches existed back then.
