Cover synopsis: Through the eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s.
I haven't read this book since middle school, and I enjoyed it even more as an adult. It's interesting to me re-reading some books from my youth to notice how my age and extra life experience now add such a richer dimension to the texts. These books truly do get better with age.
Reading To Kill a Mockingbird opens up a window into how children view the world through pure and simple eyes, but many adults let prejudice and pride rule their thoughts, actions and creeds.
