Book Review: To Kill A Mocking Bird

Book review: TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD

Hello! Everyone, I am here to review this beautiful piece of jewel that I've found and read. I was astonished and confounded by the way, Harper Lee has written it. When I first read this book, I found it hard to catch up with the word usage of the book. Now, before you judge me, I would like to tell you the fact that this was my second book with such fierce and complex words, But when you start kicking through few pages in the book, you'll start adoring this more and more. Without much further to do, let's move into the plot, shall we?

Plot Summary:

"You're a mighty good fellow, it seems—did all this for not one penny?"

Scout, a girl from Maycomb County narrates the story about the conscience of a town steeped in prejudice and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice.

In a nut shell, the whole story is about a man named Tom Robinson, a black person, who was wrongly convicted of raping a white woman and serves capital punishment. Atticus Finch, a lawyer with a good conscience and a warm-heart who defends Tom. Harper Lee narrates the story as the daughter of Atticus Finch, Jean Louis scout. She is a brave little kid with the heart of a strong woman and brain of a clever fellow. The rest of the story is about "what had happened to Tom?" and other subtle nuances that are filled with prejudiced, hypocritical people, plotting against a single person who is fighting for his life. This book resonates to us in many different ways. Many people have seen things that subliminally affect us either in a way that changes our demeanour or it leaves an emotional scathing that cuts too deep and it is unfathomable; this novel will leave you emotionally wounded forever.

Why you should read this book:

A Quote from the book:

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” (Miss Maudie)

• The story is set during the era of "Great Depression". During that period, Racism, though abolished in the 1860's, found its roots in to the county of Maycomb, where racial slurs were more prevalent.

• The author lee’s premonition cues of characters in this novel metaphorically sets the ending and lets you question yourself about the inequities of people.

• In this review, I haven't spoken about one character yet. I did that, especially for you guys to read and find him out for yourselves. Let me give you a clue, "He is the Mocking-Bird!"

• This book serves as a predated PG-13 version of "Get out" movie with a twisted ending. Now that blurbs you to buy it. Doesn't it?

Book rating: 4 stars.

Have a happy reading!
