Reviews with content warning for Fire/Fire injury - Wer die Nachtigall stört...

It's very well written, it gets you hooked and I think what makes it especially interesting is the point of view of a child who is growing up and learning about society and societal expectations.

My criticism is that it has a problem with white saviourism and I found it hard to believe that Atticus Finches existed back then.

March 2023 - Literary Fiction

Such a beautiful book should not need more than two months to finish, but what can I say, this was the month of the thesis deadline....

This book took me down an emotional roller-coaster. I know well the hypocrisy of men and societies. But I needed this story to get to know people like Atticus, Jem, and even Arthur Radley, and to see life from a child's view. I needed this story to again remind me that some people are still out there, worthy to be lived for. We need such reminders from time to time.

This book has been on my tbr for so long I feel ashamed I didn't pick this up earlier — better late than never, though, and there were so many layers to the story that I know I'll be rereading this some day. The court scene was my favourite, I felt like I was holding my breath the whole time I was reading it.

i usually wouldn’t find myself rating a book i read for school so high, but i think this story deserves it.

there’s so many layers to this story and so much to unpack, so i’ll just say that i genuinely enjoyed it. i know it’s controversial, but i really did like it. i laughed and cried and i think it was very reflective in many ways. the character development was incredible, but also i guess that’s the point of the story. the way scout reflects on her story at the end from a different perspective gave me a very strong sense of completeness. i’m sad after reading this, but also i feel ready to go into my english class tomorrow and reflect on it.

definitely a reread ✅
