Harper Lee did a fantastic novel that takes you back to the 'good o'l days post segregation in the south,however,the laws may have changed the mind set in many hasn't.A good interior look at those who struggle on holding on to the past in a an evolving society.The books introspect is about change and how those effected by it can change or cling to the past and at the same time attempt to move ahead in a way that maintains their dignity and moral conscience.The language and racial slurs may upset many,However,remember the honesty of the time setting and references of the period and you will understand it couldn't have been done otherwise without sacrificing the honesty of history of the past.You will be in lighted by reading this book for young and old alike.And if older you will remember back and then wonder if we have 'really' moved ahead or just found out a way to be socially correct.
