This book seemed way too thick of a book when it became a class assignment. Reading the back of the cover, I wasn't interested at all, but I have an OCD when it comes to grades. So I read it and I loved it. Some parts made me laugh because of the lovable character of Scout. Some parts made me furious because of the time it takes place when African-Americas were segregated. I found myself wanting to read ahead of the class and deeply engrossed in Harper Lee's amazing writing. If you aren't forced to read this in your classroom, you need to read it individually.
