This book is amazing, i was leisurely reading it and have spent the last 30 minutes finsihing it. Im so unsure how to do it justice. This is a novel with such powerful history that im struggling to find the words. How do you write a review without just saying 'it was amazing, it was eye-opening and i you haven't read it you need to ASAP!'
This is my kind of book. To all my Friends and Family i am known to love this kind of story. I wouldn't say im an activist but i love Black civil rights. I know so much about it. I like to imagine that i would have been the type of person to be a white person in the 1960s defending the black community. I support all types of people, and find the black civil rights period so sad, disgusting and powerful.. So how do i do a book so courageous justice. I can't. I am so amazed that the author (Harper Lee) wrote a book with racial themes during the black civil rights movement. A white woman openly showing the ideals that would be very much frowned apon.
My sister has been telling me for ages 'you have to read To Kill a Mockingbird, you will love it'.. so at the start of this week, i picked up this novel and just starting reading, i read it on the bus, i read it in 'starbucks' and I ignored my friends to read it. I am normally a fast reader but this book i re-read sentences, i really wanting to be absorbed by it. Plus this week is the second to last week of Uni so having to finsh other assignments was also on my mind. This novel was hard to read... but in the best way, maybe i'll just say that in my review. It was a story filled with life and was filled with....
Will begin to start writing it now...
