To Kill a Mockingbird

Really not my kind of book, but so well written. It is a boring story, but told in an interesting way, through the eyes of a 1st grade prodigious girl.

Maybe 5% of the book is about how bad we used to treat back people, which is somewhat the main part of the book. Instead, the author focus on the lives of the people in this Southern, religious American town.

What sets this book apart for me is how intelligent the main characters are. Nothing cerebral compared to Dune, but they are very real and relatable. It is very endearing to hear Jean Louise tell this story.

Anyway, not a great book, but a real pearl among the classics, which I'm currently reading and giving up on most of them.
