Review by Alison
This is a novel I can come back to time and time again. A timeless classic, possibly the only book from school that I wanted to read again!
This novel is a snap shot in the life of Scout, an 8 year old girl living in Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930’s.
Scout and her brother Jem are inseparable play mates who are very inquisitive with very vivid imaginations. They both live with their father Atticus, who is a lawyer.
Things start to heat up in this sleepy town as topics such as racism, oppression and injustice raise their ugly heads in the courtroom.
Lee has done a fantastic job of writing events through a child’s eyes. It enables the reader to follow in simplicity and not get over burdened with the heaviness of pre-civil war America.
It is like taking a step back and stripping it down, seeing it, as it really is. Honest and innocent.
Great movie adaptation too!
Being crazy isn't enough.
