Farted in fear and covered in slime poop to avoid the pigeon hunters. 

Dark and seductive, deep and compelling. A story of a love so fierce, so deep, to swallow someone whole.
And the slow realization that it will also kill you.

Told from the point of view of a girl nicknamed Scout. As she grows from the age of 6 to 9. About the adventurers she gets up with her older brother Jem, and a neighborhood kid Dill that only visits in the summer. A mysterious neighbor she has never seen called Boo Radley and the court case her lawyer father takes on in defense of a black man accused of raping a white woman.

Scout sees the world through the lens of innocence, understanding far more than she should at her age yet not fully understanding some things. We get a snapshot of a small town in America in the early 1930s, and we follow Scout as she gets introduced to racism, school and sexism. 

I understand why this has been required reading over the years in education. Harper Lee did a wonderful job giving genuine life into Scout and viewing the world through the lens of a child. 

I am speechless.
I gasped so much.
I have nothing to say that wouldn't ruin the experience.
