To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee

(Copied and pasted from my review on FB's iRead)

Gave it 5 Stars out of 5. Since I'm so anal I should give it 4.5, but nah, it is a brilliant book.

Probably the only book I ever 'dissected', attributed to doing it in upper Secondary. I greatly appreciated this book for Lit, although it began pretty boring the tension, story builds up and unfolds as the pages turn. 

There are different subplots (no spoilers, hehe) and in the end when you're done with the book, will realize that they all fall into place. (I'm saying subplots because I believe the central plot revolves around the trial) That these side-stories contribute to the intricate weaving of the beauty of this book.

And it's always a surprise to note that this is Harper Lee's only book written, which makes the Pulitzer Prize this book won not so surprising at all. Digressing again, yes this is the same Harper in the 2005 film Capote. The book also seems to be sort of an autobiography of the author. With that said, what's not to read about this awesome novel. This isn't just something the author plucked out from her imagination, but also from her own life lenses.
