I read this book when I was 15, and it has been my favorite read since. Harper Lee beautifully conveys the innocence and youth in the children, commenting hugely on the oppression of African American community. She carefully describes what prejudice against black individuals is like in the South of the USA. Commenting on the law and what is right, she creates my favorite character, Atticus, to be one of the most balanced and wise characters who luckily had enough power to influence more people into this mindset. The book tragically ends in a sad way, however, I concluded most characters spiritually benefited from Tom's death as they realized what events caused it, and how tragic it was affecting many people.

I was completely mesmerized when I started reading this book. I think that this single book is better than the whole Harry Potter trilogy, although I was a bit obsessed with that one too. I really wished that they would've made us read this book in school. I truly recommend you to read this book. To give you a little bit of help, you could find it on a site called Pdf Drive.

I tried to read this and gave up halfway. the plot advances so slowly. I want to read it again but dread the slow plot.

I still don't get why people love this book. I have read it a couple of times and I don't rate it high. Maybe I would give it another try.

Showing the social reality of that period, morals, and doubts through a little kid's eyes got me trapped. I read it in one go. Nowadays, I still recommend it to all of my students who want to have a better understanding of this period of society.

It is indeed! It was fascinating to see how such complex issues might look from the perspective of a young child. Also, I liked that, while it does mention the harm that religious people have done, it doesn't blame religion for it, and religion's positive effects are also shown - it's not so easy finding that in newer books (except for Christian ones).

Also, it stuck to me how sometimes, people are discriminated for belinging to a group that's not even recognizable if one doesn't know someone belongs to it.

I cherished To Kill a Mockingbird. It has a compelling premise and well-developed characters, in my opinion, making it a fantastic story. Additionally, I think it gives us a glimpse of what it was like to be separated into two racial groups—Blacks and Whites.But there are also depressing moments.

Then, it's time to check it out.

It contains a fair share of topics that might be triggering, so be warned of that.

However, they aren't there because the author wanted to make the situations as horrible as possible; on the contrary, they are there because the auhtor felt a need to speak out about them.

I'm not sure where to find the stuff you're looking for, but it's a yellow colored book. Published in 1985, by warner brooks, I'm not sure where to find the edition part.
