To Kill A Mockingbird

This piece of work by Harper Lee is truly amazing. Her style of writing, describing with utmost detail (all relevant), her unique way of storytelling, and the overall simplicity and *believability* of her story is what makes it extremely enjoyable reading. The sensitivity with which she has dealt with the growing up years of two children, a brother and a sister, in a small American town is commendable. As part of the journey, she has artistically and almost inadvertantly touched upon historical moments in the America of that time, issues like the prevalant racism, the life of small towners, their joys and their challenges.

And I fell in love with Atticus Finch - what an amazing human being - admirable!

This book is a must read.
