The only thing I can say is "Thank God Harper Lee's releasing a sequel!" 
 All the characters just felt so ... real. I have to admit that I cried during Atticus' speeches because they are just awesome. And I love Scout and Jim and Dill. (view spoiler)[If Dill and Scout are actually married in the sequel that would actually be so sweet. Just sayin'. (hide spoiler)] They just come off the page in a way that is so rare. 
 So ... go read this book. Please.
