I enjoyed it and thought it was interesting both for its examination of racism in the 1960s but also because of the way it showed how the relationship between father and daughter changes and shifts. Atticus wasn't the man he was in To Kill but that man was always viewed through Scout's eyes. Part of growing up is accepting our parents have faults and I thought this really came through. I liked the little details about the sort of things that were acceptable in New York but simply not suitable for the South, like the clothes she wore.
