A review by kevin_shepherd
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
5.0
"There are just some kind of men who - who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results."
Poverty, ignorance, a flawed judicial system, and the complicit role of organized religion in perpetuating systemic racism. I was taken back by the raw honesty and unapologetic frankness with which Harper Lee writes. There is an abundance of "N-Words" - at least 48! - but they're always in dialogue and integral to the landscape of the era. There is also humor, intrigue, and measured amounts of human decency and hope.
