A review by brittanykroeckel
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

5.0

I don’t ever read books more than once, but To Kill A Mockingbird is the exception. My first encounter with this book was back in high school I believe and I always considered it my favorite book of all time. I chose to reread this because I wanted to fall in love with it again, and I did.

I very much enjoy books with many layers, and this provides such: preconceptions, racism, single parents, class, societal norms, and American law. Despite having all these different parts, they come together so easily and beautifully. Each character brings a lesson and importance to the story as it continually unfolds.

It is a must read and an American classic that can cultivate meaningful discussions with others. Despite this book being written about two decades ago, the topics in this are more relevant now than ever.
