It's a boring book IMO. Not worth my time, might not be yours as well, unless you're driven to pursue extrinsic inspiration from such like!

I read an excerpt during my college days. This is the sequence where Atticus shoots the mad dog. (it is flat and boring sequence in the film). In the novel it is extremely well written.

Nothing novel about the situation. Basically it is pretty much tihe same as the illiterate Tamil cinema hero amazing the world with his fluent English/Hindi. But the way it was presented was just beautiful. The way in which the children's perception of Atticus gets wider, never ever directly mentioned, is something that comes out very well. Nothing is told, everything happens and you move along with it. Really good writing.
