There's nothing I could write that would rival what others have written much more eloquently, so I'll leave it at this: READ THIS BOOK. It truly is life-changing and will make you truly question your actions and the actions of others, and how our actions can affect others.

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.

I really liked this book because I was super into the plot. I didn't want to put the book down and the author did a good job of making me feel the same emotions as the characters. I also liked how it went against the racial norms of that time and fought for racial equality.
