Not so frequent you come across such novels where the theme is so explicitely chosen that you are unable to understand it even when you flip the last pages of the novel.
I feel it takes a lot of courage to complete such novels. When you do not find anything worthwhile in the story, either you leave the novel getting to nowhere or you read it with great lethargy that in the end you end up just consoling yourself that atleast you were able to complete the 300 pages. "Not Bad" I say...but then the mind still boggles to find why...what did the author think that even I am not able to think. Where does the difference lies...
Wikipedia can actually be a good source of fullfilling your knowledge after atleast a thorough reading of such a book. And then I found that the story from the very beginning to the far end was always swaying about the theme but not in the manner I actually wished it were. We actually learn a lot from such novels.
This novel actually took a great deal for me to finish it, probably because I had a momentum for reading whatever lies in my way.
To kill a mockingbird roams around a simple life of an innocent girl, too small to understand various aspects of life, unable to understand what is going on and why is it like that. And then even if she sometimes get what's on, its not possible to view the subject from the point of view the others. Such people tend to live on the conscience of someone else considering him as a godfather.
The story will definitely leave you with the oxford by your side. In the end you will have to appreciate the intelligence of the author and the way she could even potray herself after a great deal of years into a girl of merely 7 years.
The 1960 work is worth giving a glance.

I don't recall the book having many "difficult words".
To appreciate the book, you need to know that the story was published racism was an almost acceptable way of life, and the hypocrisy shown by many so called non-racist, educated and seemingly just people.
I find the book deserving of its reputation.
Its not usual to be familiar with the words in the context of racism and prejudice, and it did require some help for deriving useful information about the characters.
And we definitely come to such a conclusion on visualizing the nature of many people living there.
I think that the thoughts of the hypocrits was the reason why the book throws an awesome meaning, else the book would have had no meaning.
