I found it very interesting, though a slower read. Probably didn’t help that I read it a little at a time over several months as I was busy. However, it is impactful and seen through the eyes of the young Scout really conveys how ridiculous prejudice is and how we often make mountains out of molehills.

Knowing the subject is often triggering, I was prepared and really enjoyed this read. I also really enjoyed this as an audiobook read by Sissy Spacek. The characters are the thing that carry this book, and the writing really brings you into the south of the 1930s. My one dissappointment was the way the sub-plots jumped around, although they make sense in the end and with the POV.

I mean. it was a little interesting. I think the whole trial part was really interesting and the way they were about black people. But i read another review and it made me realize that it is very much giving white savior. And the ending was strange but i liked it.
