This book is based in the mid-19th century Deep South of America.
The book is divided into two parts. The first section follows the life of Jem and Scout Finch and their adventures will Dill in Maycomb county. The primary excursion is to try and get the reclusive and never-seen Boo Radley to come out. This plan fails, and when Jem nearly gets shot by Aqrthur Radley, they decide to move on from this.
The second part of this book involves a court case, in which Atticus, Jem and Scout's father, has to defend a black man charged with raping a white girl. The injustice when the white girls father, mr Ewell, is proven to have been the one to beat her up, yet the jury still declare the black man Guilty in the basis of his skin is a moving and hateful twist.
I found this book hard to get in to, but once is started, it got better and better towards the end. 8.5/10 L.B
