"What a deep book. Scout has to be in my favorite leading characters list. She's so fun to read about. This was written like many of the old books I've read, so it was fairly easily for me to get into and understand. The first 100 pages were pretty much an intro to Scout's and her brother Jem's lives. It had details that were actually symbols of other things. Unfortunately I currently don't know what they all were but I think I got a few. The famous Trial happens after half the book is finished. The book really picks up then, inticing the reader with more and more events that lead up the the climax perfectly. <br/><br/>I thought it was a good book that expressed racism in the 1930's. It showed how people lived, thought, and what they believed then. It was a book of growth, symbolism, and the gray zones in the 'right or wrong' category. There were characters that you could love and some that you would avoid. The worldbuilding was detailed and made it seem like Maycomb was an actual county in Alabama full of people. It showed the Great Depression influencing all parts of life but people who were striving to get through it."
