Title: Powerful Story
Review: I read this book when I was in my teens and I was very affected by it. I identified with Scout and Jem, who were full of curiosity and innocence, and were coming to know right from wrong, not just in small matters, but in large social issues such as jurors voting against evidence and for their own personal prejudiced views (despite the evidence). It's difficult for children to understand why adults behave like this, and I think Harper Lee does an outstanding job of depicting children coming to grips with right and wrong. I also loved the character of Atticus, the children's father. Years went by and then I read this book again, as an adult, and was still struck by the power of the story. I can see why this book won all the awards it did.
