A review by ahalsnad
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
4.0
It is the second time I read this book. Back when I read it 10 years ago, could not appreciate the book enough. (Wonder what I was thinking!!)
The book is well written and gives an insight into the way the society was in small towns in the 30's. Moreover, what I loved about the book was, even though it is a simple story it has some dialogues that have a deeper meaning. Such statements make one pause for a minute and consider how it applies to one's own philosophies and thoughts.
The story gives a view of how life is; it is unfair. There are always people with prejudices or looking out for what they want. It is not easy to judge, but if one can try to stand in the shoes of another, one can make a better assessment.
Most of the times, it is more of what is easy than what is right.
