Aug. 29th, 2006 08:57 pmTo Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee
This is a beautiful, wonderful book that utterly deserves its status as a classic. Lee perfectly captures childhood - both the way children act and think as well as the way they view the adult world around them. Lee's themes and points are still relevant nearly 45 years later, too. And while these points and themes come across clearly, Lee never seems pedantic or heavy-handed. You hear her loud and clear, and can see exactly what she's doing, yet it's all completely natural.
If you haven't yet read To Kill a Mockingbird, I highly and unconditionally recommend it.
