A novel published in 1960 is completely relevant even in todays time, a masterpiece. The story from the eyes of young Scout (who is an 8 yr old girl) is so refreshing, a good lesson on equality and compassion. My favourite quote from the novel spoken by Atticus "The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."

Such an amazing book.. i took a lot of days to get through the initial 10-20 pages..however once I was past that, i couldn't keep the book down.. it broke my heart when I read abt deaths of Judy, Liesels mom and papa. I rejoiced with tears in my eyes when Liesel was reunited with Max. This is a timeless masterpiece and ever so relevant in todays times of conflict. Must read. Am also eager to watch the movie based on this book.
