Book review - To kill a mocking bird
All the while reading the book i was thinking what makes it famous ?
Few things i can jot down easily-
- The book constructs the characters of Alabama the location in which story is set- quite meticulously. Author aims at creating a separate world of Alabama and peculiarities of the residents here. This is to help reader view everything wholesomely.
- Harper uses the voice of the child to describe n help reader discover several biases which as adults are quite normal to us but to a child they seem illogical and irrelevant.
The scene where scout saves atticus from an attack by just being an innocent child - for me is the highlight of the book.
Treat this book likes a slow chocolate which becomes darker in taste in between but final taste is worth the effort and wait.
Very good literature - and if u have missed it during your childhood times like me - good time to catch up.
Con -
It's slow - and author while creating Alabama spends time on too much details. In the end however you will realise they were the need of story. It helps us separate albama and understand & chide away at perceptions that we otherwise unconsicuouly consruct.
