To Kill a Mockingbird

by Harper Lee

After reading this book for the third time, I have to admit that To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most amazing classical books that I have ever read.

The novel is told through the eyes of a young child named Scout as she narrates the events that led up to her brother Jem breaking his arm. Scout's point of view allows us to understand the prejudice and racism that surrounds the small town of Maycomb as her father Atticus defends a black man, Tom Robinson, in court who is accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell.

Atticus is a morally grounded character and the best fictional dad ever, who disciplines his children in the best way possible and advises them about most of the messages and themes in the novel.

I felt every single emotion that needed to be felt: childhood games, nostalgia, dread, disbelief, disillusionment, anticipation, anger and maybe a few tears...

To Kill a Mockingbird is life altering. It shows the horrors of racism and prejudice, the good that exists in a world of hate and most important that one needs to consider things from other peoples points of view. This book is beautiful and unforgettable!
