This book was too long and too boring for me to say any good words on it. I did not like the cut-and-dry style of Harper Lee, and i didn't appreciate the way that the first half of the book seems useless after you have completed part 2. all the author had to do was introduce the character of Boo Radley in a paragraph or two and then get on with the trial. i know that some people would argue that part 1 had more substance than simply telling the reader about boo, but i dont think much else mattered, so hate me all you want to. this is just a typical book that they make you read in school : dull. so i didnt expect much else.
