People who are hating this book because Harper Lee made Atticus into a "racist" missed the point of this book entirely. This was about Scout finally seeing her dad as human rather than the god-like figure, finally taking him off that pedestal she had him on. Most people have this happen by their teenage years but Scout has not had this happen until she is an adult coming back to visit her family since her father is such a great person, making so few mistakes. You learn that true bigotry is not being willing to listen to someone that challenges your opinion. I was disappointed with this book at first because I did not think it was on the same literary standard as To Kill A Mockingbird but the last fourth of the book raised my opinion of this book.
