This review is on Harper Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird", a young adult novel set in the 1930's in the small town of Maycomb County, Alabama. This book takes place in a time where your race determines your place in society. The book is told by a young girl named Scout as she tells of of the time when her beloved father, Atticus Finch, defended a negro man at his trial for allegedly raping a young girl. The book follows the life of Scout, her older brother Jem, and on occasion, their imaginative friend, Dill, and their childish antics before the time of the trial, alongside with the event of the trial as they witness what it means to be cruel and the true meaning of a hero.

This book was amazing and definitely worth reading. This book does a beautiful job of recreating the 19th century, and the unfairness that came with it. The book is incredibly moving and allowed me to see what it was like to live in a society where one race ruled above another. This novel exceeds all of the expectations of a great book. The POV, which is the voice of a young child,made the writing style in this book incredibly unique. Alongside the writing style, all of the other aspects absolultly blew my mind. The characters are all spot on; I found myself attached to all of these lovable characters by the second chapter; and the plot itself is absolutly beutiful. I cannot find the words to describe the beuty of this book, so please just go read it! I highly recomend this book and is worthy of five out of five stars.
