A review by loganmaloney
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
5.0
4.5
This book is known as an American classic by people everywhere and I finally know why, it’s so good! I was not one of the millions of high school students that had to read this book and I’m happy about that. I absolutely would not have appreciated this book as much as I do now, not being forced to read it!
The only reason this book did not receive 5 stars is because of the last 5 chapters of the book. It seems like the entire book leads up to the rape trial against Tom Robinson and once that is finished, it should have taken only a little bit to tie up all the loose ends but instead the author decided to draw it out across a whole new school year. I definitely don’t think this was necessary but obviously it wasn’t terrible.
All three main characters (Scout, Jem & Atticus) were an absolute blast to get to know and beautifully developed as the book went on. Atticus is absolutely the type of father that I’d like to be one day; he does such an amazing job caring for those kids and teaching them while being a single dad! You could say I got a little wrapped up in this story!
