What can I say about this book that hasn't already been said? I loved it. It's certain that people have said those same words. I'm happy to join them. 
 Harper Lee introduces us to Scout, the young, precocious narrator of her novel who is probably one of the best characters written. Through Scout's eyes, alongside her brother Jem and cohort Dill, we gain a picture of growing up in a small town in 1930's Alabama. At the heart of the book is the trial of a black man accused of raping a white girl. The whole of the book reveals the weight these children face as adults divide themselves along lines of color, class and status. Thanks belong to a child's resilient nature and to their father Atticus, who quietly by example teaches them, and the reader, to see through eyes without prejudice. And I can't forget one Boo Radley. 
 Scout made me laugh throughout the entire book. Lee wrote her heroine's character with a child's innocence, an off-the-wall humor, and wisdom beyond her years. I thought the story was solid from beginning to end. Sometimes I could predict the outcome, but that took nothing away from my feelings for the story at the end. 
 I don't know if Harper Lee wrote the perfect book. I do believe that she tackled subjects that need to be read. Although the face of things may have changed over time, racism and prejudice still exist. If there's one thing people can do to change this, it is to write a story like Lee did. The book may be fiction, but there is so much truth inside its covers. 
 I've heard that Go Set a Watchman changes the way we see Atticus. I'm just happy that I'll at least get to read another book by Harper Lee. I'm sure if she had continued to write, all her books would have been compared to her first, but I wish there were more out there.
