To Kill a Mockingbird: 50th Anniversary Edition by Harper Lee
5.0
I have to admit, it took me a fair few times to read this book, After getting it from my school's library I half-heartedly attempted to read it, reading only 50 pages or so in class and then putting it down and never intending to pick it up.
However, with my mum's constant praise of the classic, as it is her favourite - I decided to give it another go, as I've been on a reading high lately.
I wasn't expecting to finish the whole book in a night, but I have to say - it hooked me in. The perspective of scout was so interesting to read, and I really enjoyed her as a narrator. She felt incredibly real.
The relationship between her and jem was just precious, and I have nothing but love for Atticus Finch.
I think this is an extremely important novel, You forget it's about racism entirely as your sucked into the world of Scout, and the ways of the town and Boo Radley. The main conflict isn't even mentioned until your well into the book, and it was a jarring reminder.
I hate to say how familar this book feels, and I hate to admit that this still happens, even 60 odd years later there's still shit like this happening, and that is why this novel is so important.
