Such an interesting read. It really makes you think about how it would be like to live in that time. As I could not imagine thinking people who aren’t white are not equal to me. I know non-whites still face racism today. But to think of how they were treated back then is just awful. But I liked that Jen, Dill and Scout all thought it was wrong what they were doing to Tom Robinson. It shows childhood innocence and that people are taught to be racist they aren’t born that way, and because their father hadn’t raised them to be they weren’t.

A beautifully written book. I was assigned to read it for my English class, and I was amazed to how much I ended up liking it. The beginning was a little slow, but after it got really good. I especially love the writing of Boo Radley and Scout.

i read this book twice. Once for school and before that because i was bored.  Just like 13 reasons why my hatred for this book only grew reading it for the second time. While I appreciate the values portrait the finished product is boring and the values drown in the wasteland that is this book.  I liked the ending but to get there you'll have to suffer through boring descriptions and an outdated language. While i think there is a ton of symbolism and ways to interpret this book i don't think that everyone and their mother should read it in school, especially since it's the default option of racism being discussed in a lot of cases. The n*word is literally used a few times and i think there are better books to teach a 12th grade or any grade about the judicial system or the systemic racism in America and all around the world.
