The book is a deeply moving emotional story of a town which faces the usual orthodox views as in a conventional old town of, so to say, established people. The narration of these events by a little child has made the language more sweet, compassionate and dramatic. The events revolves around their child day mischiefs always resulting in deep knowledge about human values, as analysed by a child's brain, guileless and transparent, questioning every complex rules set by the elder world. The main event of the story revolves around the discrimination of blacks and whites. The heart of this book, the character of Atticus, is an ideal representing the human dignity and humbleness that gives us some of the practical lessons of life.
Instead of the description of all these complex problems, the author has kept the story very simple and dramatic which keeps the reader guessing and interested, till the end; however, thats with a slight dull start of the novels describing the families and rusty town of Maycomb. The reader needs to go forward a little bit deep into the book to find the juice of the story. The book begins with a lot of praise by reputed news papers and magazines such as The New York Times, Times Magazine, Los Angeles Times, etc.
