Racism. A big problem in not just the Deep South of America but everywhere. Plenty of books try to take on this deep topic, most fail. But amongst the failure of others, one book stands above the rest. To Kill A Mockingbird is an amazing piece of literature that effectively takes on racism.
Plot/Storyline: I give it a 10/10. Mrs. (Ms.?) Lee did a good job in creating a believable setting and believable characters. She had you on the edge of your seat when Scout went into Boo Radley's yard. She had you crying when Tom Robinson was convicted. Harper Lee did an amazing job in giving us a REAL taste of the hatred towards anyone different in the South. But once again, racism is not just a Southern thing. Racism is one of our worlds biggest problems.
Character Development: I give it another 10/10. Harper Lee once again does a tremendous job. The characters seemed so real and life-like. She used so much detail it was as if you knew them all in real life. Everyone could relate to at least one character in the book. Be it the shut-in Boo Radley to the gossip Miss Crawford. She had a wide array of characters that were perfect for the story.
OVERALL SCORE ON THE MAD-SCALE: 20/20! Yay TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD!
