Sadly, I can't call this book boring, despite my wanting to. The story was fairly intriguing when it finally got into it, and the point of view of Scout Finch was very interesting.
Despite that, the story itself, not matter how interesting, was clearly old-fashioned, and I had a hard time not getting pissed over every little misogynistic or racist remark the characters made.
Yeah, "those were the times", but those times sucked. This book might have been very forward thinking for it's time, and I appreciated the little "Hitler Sucks" bit, but other than that most of the content of this book aged like spoilt milk.

Outstanding.
I read the entire book in a day, almost nonstop (I had to eat dinner)
Incredible.

BOOK NOTES:
Justice was blocked by race
Don’t judge character by colour
Judicial system can be bent for good and bad
Representing a black person was enough to be appreciated by black community
Being accepting of Blacks can lead to being discriminated
Evidence did not outweigh prejudice
Shoot all the Blue Jays but never kill a Mockingbird- symbol of innocence
Prejudice led to divisions and pride and stopped expression of emotions
White privilege could be used to maintain reputation at the expense of Blacks
Young people can loose faith in justice system based on verdicts
The youth can also be affected by prejudice

I had to read this for school as most people I assume did, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! one the of best novels out there for sure. I love Lee’s dry sense of humor; I have rarely laughed as much or as hard as I did reading this book. I loved reading about the era of the 1930s in the south through the eyes of a child. Children have an certain innocent, naive nature about their views of society and the world in general, and it’s provoking to see them how they, despite their young age, are sometimes morally higher or better than adults. Their views, for the most part, aren’t filled with prejudice. Anyways, it’s a great book and everyone definitely need to read this ASAP!!
