Helpful Score: 2
Okay don't crucify me--but I found this story difficult to read. It is slow and takes forever to get to the real story. The main story is heartbreaking and must have been shocking when this was first released. I endured the long background with Scout and her brother because I know this is a classic and I wanted to read it all the way through. I prefer the movie with Gregory Peck. (I was told by a writing instructor that most of the classics probably wouldn't be published in today's market because they are considered too slow.) Still, it is a classic and as such--I think everyone should read it once.
