emotional fast-paced

3.0

I used to like this book when I first read it in middle school, but as I have gotten older I realized how white-centric this novel is, and am unsure it is worthy of the praise it often receives. The Black characters are sidelined, and although I know it is a "product of its time" I feel that we should not ignore the flaws within the book.

This is another reread for me and it is still as good and adorable and powerful as I remember. The themes still hold up to this day and Scout Finch is an iconic female character.
