Wow. Not until it finished did I realise that I was settled and snug and in love with this book. I formed such attachments and admirations to and for the people. Scout is the kind of girl I'd love to have as a sister or a daughter, Jem is complex and mysterious and HUMAN, and Atticus is humanity at ...
This is one of the few books I've read twice. It was required reading in secondary(?) school and it left me cold, but it comes highly recommended by someone I knew very well.I am amazed it's the same book. I am amazed it was ever assigned to children, given its sublety and subject matter. I have ser...
An interesting story of a southern lawyer and a case of a black man being accused of rape of a white young woman.

This classic story gives you a good glimpse of the racial stigma and inequalities of th...
Harper Lees „To kill a mockingbird“ habe ich mir vor einem Jahr bei einer Aktion auf Amazon.de gekauft. Bisher stand es unbeachtet in meinem Regal. Ich wollte es zwar unbedingt einmal lesen, habe mich aber nicht so recht rangetraut. Da ich, nachdem ich „Clockwork Angel“ von Cassandra Clare gelesen h...
I love this book. I think I've loved this book ever since it was given to me as a set text back in high school, but this time around I loved it even more. Why? I think it was because it was the first time I'd read it since becoming a parent and it gave me a whole new perspective. This time, post...
So, basically this is a total crap placeholder review until I reread this amazing gem of a book for the third time and string my scattered thoughts in an aromatic garland of words.
