When I began to read this book I had no idea what was going to take place basically in my own back yard. I live within 20 minutes of Charlotte NC. I was half way through the book when the demonstrations and riots in Charlotte broke out. I had the news on while I read the book. It was very interesting to get the feelings and beliefs from so many sides. So many layers, how have we not. as people, not changed in over 60 years. Why do we let self serving groups take over our lives and thoughts and make a total mess of what little positive gains we have made. The ladies in my group were very split on the book, most did not like Scout and thought she was a bit immature and rigid in her ways. I guess I was lucky to have read it when I did, I gave it the highest score in the club.
