A classic story of childhood and prejudice in a sleepy Southern town. I first read this book in high school for English, but as was the case with many required reads, a certain degree of reluctance kept me from fully appreciating the story. Re-reading it now of my own volition, I found myself really liking the story. It captured the innocence and disregard of childhood, while also showcasing a complex plot that can be understood by adults. While it isn't my favorite book, and given the genre and the story, is not something I would have picked up on my own, I did really enjoy this and I'm glad I read it again, as its morals and messages are still very relevant today.
