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.

I first picked this up in high school for English and just couldn't get into it. I might revisit it in the future.

The story is very elaborate and reads very well. And storytelling is awesome, too. Since I listened to the book as an audiobook, I also really loved the way the audiobook was done.
