A review by library_of_al
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

The author only used the black characters as plot devices and didn’t treat them like people. Atticus being like a white savior. Would not recommend there are better books that discuss racism without acting like a savior to them.
Update: It’s been over a year since I read this book I hate it still if not more than I did back then, but if you want a better book about racism read “I know why the caged bird sings” by Maya Angelou.
