To Kill a Mocking Bird

To Kill A Mocking Bird - by Harper Lee

I completed this around a week back, absolutely gripping and romp of read.

Its a semi-autobiographical narrative (also the only novel everwritten by) Harper Lee, about a brother and sister growing up in asmall town in Alabama. What i really loved about it was the very vividdescription of childhood trifles, the father-child relationship andhow the personalities of different people we interact with inchildhood, defines our perception of the world in adult life.

It forces one to take the memory train back to the school days, whenthere was no placement/apping nbd, no weekly meeting with the advisor,and when we were really really happy.
