Finshed Reading: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee!!


Read from February 17 to 24, 2013 

 

How can I do otherwise than falling in love with this AWESOME novel!! It was Harper Lee’s only book, but it was splendidly written. It is my first time enjoying an “American” novel, and I’m so glad about it.

 

The book tells the story of a Lawyer, Atticus Finch, and his two Children, Jeremy Atticus (Jem), and Jeanne Louise (Scout) who is actually talking in the book, and gives us random facts about this family and their neighborhood steeped with moral lessons about racism. Atticus took a case in which a black man, Tom Robinson, was falsely charged with the crime of taking advantage of a white girl, Mayella Ewell. The whole county of Maycomb was against Atticus being by the black man’s side, for they already knew it was all in vain.

 

I like Atticus’ character as well as his children's. His and Jem’s calmness and dealing with the troubles in a cool way, and Scout’s abruptness and giving way to her fists first thing once in a trouble. 

 

I gave it 5 out of 5 stars, and, God, it deserves every blessed star it got.
