Harper Lee won a Pulitzer for this one and she deserves it!!<br />This book is set in early nineties in a small town in Mississippi. The protagonist is a small girl who leans about life. Scout is a small girl, who along with her brother Jem see the evil of racism. Their father , Atticus is a lawyer who defends an innocent black man.

She has a older brother and a dad, her mother died but she has a nanny so to speak that acts as a authority figure. I can say the best part of the book would be how the father (Atticus)gives advice to the children.Ελλάδαhttp://dream8doit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-25692588854371610622011-10-03T23:10:40.479-05:002011-10-03T23:10:40.479-05:00This is one of my all-time favourite books.

Those who challenge it are looking at their own issues, I do believe. So sue me for saying that.

I loved it, even then. The story is just so real and amazing and if I look back on it as a reviewer, I think it's quite amazing how the author is to develop the characters and the plot so fully while at the same time giving us quality and a story to be appreciated for years to come. Loved your review, Rummanah. It makes me want to go back and reread it. <br /><br />I knew it had been banned, but I'm surprised at how many times and all the reasons. It was really interesting to read that section of the review.Jen (@ Jens Book Closet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02339586413882184139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-36032454783874720212011-10-03T12:20:30.641-05:002011-10-03T12:20:30.641-05:00The first time I was required to read this book in...The first time I was required to read this book in school, I didn't care for it one bit. I revisited it in college and was completely blown away. It seemed like different story. <br /><br />Thanks again for sharing the challenged history.

It still remains one of my very favorite books and one of the few I actually enjoyed reading in school.
