To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

BATB score: 6/10 🖤

written back in 1960 by Harper Lee, Pulitzer Prize winner for American literature in 1961, made into a 8.3/10 IMDb film in 1962, and a required read for middle school and high school kids all until 2000s

Best to: old school classic book on racism and prejudice in Alabama, USA back in 1930s; narrate through a six-year-old Scout Finch POV

Best for: raise your hand if you had to read this book for school 🙋‍♀️🙋 raise your hand if you remember hating it 🙋‍♀️🙋 re-reading it today, you hate it a little less yet the high school force-read trauma lingers

Best as: explain the resemblance between a mockingbird and the main character blah blah. what is the significance of blah blah in the courtroom. what role and influence did blah blah play on Scout; the homework still haunts me everyday
