Denne bog fangede mig ikke med det samme, men da jeg var kommet godt igang med den, så var den svær at lægge fra sig!

I was really surprised. I had heard of bad press about the book, and the entire debate about the rightness of publishing the book put a damper on my expectations. But damn it is a good book! The same beautiful language as in To Kill a Mockingbird. Even though my picture of Atticus was ruined, my picture of Jean Louise was so improved. She grows so much in this book, and her transformation was amazing to witness. I can only recommend this book!
