A review by kikkrareads
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

5.0

I wonder why it took me so long to read this book. Once I started it, I simply could not put it down. Scout and Jem Finch became my newest friends while I was transported back to a time where equality was but a dream.

I adore the way Harper Lee was able to give Scout such depth and knowledge. In her young age, she can see how the world needs to change and that there are injustices at play. Scout has hope for a better world, and more importantly, hope in her father. She knows he will do what is right, and what he says she believes.

The characters in this text are rightfully flawed and realistic. I can see why this is a text that has been studied for years and years. I can also see how it would make some fearful of a positive change (thus making it a banned book).

5 stars and I will be reading again!
