Like everyone else, I read this in school, and do not recall having strong feelings about it. This year I decided to re-read it, alongside Go Set a Watchman, for the sake of having an informed opinion about both. This is such a well-known book that there’s no need for another review of it; what foll...
This was a "re-read" for me -- I first read this book in High School, remembered liking it and thought I remembered quite a bit about it, and then re-read it for book club to the rude awakening, as always, that I did not remember nearly as much about it as I thought I did.Although it still held up, ...

It is sophisticated and nuanced in theme and in the telling, despite its down-home, small town setting...
