My favorite quote:
"but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
I think that this book has a very important commentary on the essence of man, as well as the meaning of equality.
Someone who likes books that analyze the heart of man will like this book.
The only problem I had with this book was the length. Although it was only 400 pages, it was still too many for the content. I think she could have done just as well delivering her message in 200 pages.
This may be a case where the movie is just as good as the book. It does a great job of keeping almost all the important content, while trimming the fat.
Overall, I am glad I read it once, but I don't think I would go back and read it again.
This is probably my favorite book. There is a life-enhancing quote to live by on almost every page. Atticus Finch is an awesome character!!!
