Spoilers!

I was unaware that this book was a sequel to "to kill a mockingbird". However I did read online that it was, before starting this book.

I disliked the fact that half of it is flashbacks to the times described in to kill a mockingbird. If I would have wanted to know those times I could have reread that book.

The book only really got me near the end, in the final parts, when Jean Louise stood up to the people around her. She brought a very strong message, from which people nowadays could still learn a lot.

' Equal rights for all; special privileges for none.'

"You're color blind, Jean Louise," he said. "You always have been, you always will be. The only differences you see between one human and another are the differences in looks and intelligence and character and the like. You've never been prodded to look at people as a race, and now that race us the burning issue of the day, you're still unable to think racially. You see only people."
