I took me a few times and a little while to get into this story. At times the writer introduces a lot of new characters and explains everything about them and I mean everything and then some.

Really good!
I had heard of this book many times and I did watch the movie when I was a teenager. I enjoyed the story and the fact it was narrated by a kid, Scout. I enjoyed the relationship between her father and her. The story of the town was also interesting. The trial clearly shows you how bad human nature can be. Definitely a classic, worth of reading.
