NonFiction November 2020 Wrap Up [CC]

I did give it four stars and I would definitely recommend this to people who are just starting that learning process. If you already have a good grasp on this, you've read some other books, you've studied this in some capacity, this book, probably not gonna give you too many new things, but you never know.

It's incredibly informative, but also I do want to film a review on it in the future so I don't have too much to say about this at this point other than that I'm learning a lot and this book really kicks off in 1981 and I'm 70 pages into this book and I'm not even in 1981 yet, so this is a very thorough look, but it only goes up to 1987, whereas this one is going to go beyond that. Good so far, but I am only 35 pages in so hopefully it continues to be good.

He acknowledges certain decisions that he made and places he was because there was so many things happening at the same time that there was no way he could be in all the places at once, so he was sometimes gathering information from people who were helping him, like a photographer or an assistant journalist who was helping to gather information at big events because there was so many little things happening, so I appreciated his transparency with that, but what I really appreciated was how... lovingly he wrote about these kids and how he treated them with such respect in the words that he used.

I enjoyed this. I gave it four stars. It was beautifully put together.

I ended up giving it three stars because I did enjoy the atmosphere of it, of being in southern Alabama and experiencing that more rural, slow-paced life. I just think that there was a lot of repetitiveness in this in the sense of, yes, you're just living your everyday life in Monroeville, Alabama and, you know, you're going to dinner with these people, you're going to this store, you're doing your laundry with Harper Lee, which is funny, but also there's only so many times you can read about that, so that's why I do think that this book probably didn't really need to be a book.

I read To Kill a Mockingbird in school. I really enjoyed it and I know that book means a lot to many people and Harper Lee is a very private person or was, she has since passed away.
