A review by uyp
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

5.0

It was amazing! After picking it up so many times and never finishing this novel, I was determined to finish this book.
Though at the beginning it is a bit of a bore, but you can see that Scout and her family are actually quite quirky, yet wise. I admire Scout's ability on an emotional and intellectual level. She is smart, but she is able to morally live her life as she follows in her father's footsteps.
It was a joy for me to see how a trial would end up affecting the Finch family. Thiugh they live in a small town, never-changing place, that only helped create a stable setting to focus on more important matters.
Lee highlights, using moral sense, the difference between what is good and what is bad and she puts it into beautiful writing. The only downpart in my opinion is the slow moving pace in the beginning of the book. However, I think it only contributes to building up to the climax so that the impact of the true message will be planted in the reader's brains.
