It is very slow imo, I think it's supposed to be though. It's narrated by a child so it's wrote kinda like a diary. there are a ton of character-driven plots and the action doesn't really pick up until the very end. I enjoyed the ending though. It just isn't my type of book, but well written.

So much to say about this book!!!
I loved loved reading this book, and this book was my favorite to read in English the year I read it. It was easy for me to follow despite a lot happening in the chapters. At times I did not find Scout to be all that likable but I really liked her character development. And seeing Jem’s character development was tragic but made sense due to his empathetic nature. 
I really enjoyed the antiracist themes of it as it not only relates to the books own setting, and the time the book was written but even our own time today as police brutality and other racist systems still exist in America today. 
I think my favorite characters in this book either have to be Atticus, Boo Radley, or Miss Maudie. 
With Atticus I find him to be a great role model for the kids showing how a caring human being should act as he teaches scout the idea of “walking in another person’s shoes”. And is a great role model by staying true to his own values to not only infront of his kids but to an entire court. And he breaks many societal norms by being a single dad raising his kids.
 I loved Miss Maudie as she is a generally caring individual for Scout and the other kids. And seeing the entire community come together when her house was on fire is a testament to how kind of a person she is. Also Scout looks up to her and Maudie herself breaks many codes regarding gender as she tends to wear “men’s clothes” as it’s more convenient for when she upkeeps her flower garden. And Scout sees this and wears similar clothing and views Miss Maudie as a comforting character.
 Boo Radley is such an interesting character, he is a mysterious character because he is shut-in himself.

I really liked his heroism especially when he saves the children at the end of the story from Bob Ewell

I found him to be a generally wholesome character!
 Overall a great book would recommend to anyone interested in social issues to read it!!

I really enjoyed this! I’ve watched the movie a few times, but never read the book. It’s honestly pretty similar. I really enjoyed scout as a narrator. This is obviously a serious book that handles some serious topics, but it feels cozy. If you haven’t read this yet I do recommend it. It’s an easy read as well for a classic.

This is a classic for a reason! The characters took me back to childhood while the plot around the trial brought up so many emotions for humanity and a desire for justice and truth.
