I'm actually almost finished this book (I've already read the notes, bibliography, and index) and hope to finish it this evening. This case and the larger subject of voting & civil rights (and lack of them) is presented in such an interesting way. I'm really enjoying this book.

Hope to finish this tomorrow, otherwise during the weekend. Fascinating history and emotionally moving. Can't believe I was alive (and ignorant) while much of these events were happening.

Such an interesting book so it's all the more frustrating that I'm going through a period when it's both hard to read and I have less time to read. That's always been hard but since Goodreads it's particularly difficult: I witness so many people flying through so many books, while my to-read books pile up & up & up.

I'm really enjoying reading these people's stories and learning about this case, and the history or this time/place, Very cognizant that I was alive when this case was being prepared and presented.

An interesting cast of (real life) characters who were at the crux of the voting rights/civil rights movement. Eager to finish this during the week, hopefully.

Wishing I had time to read this more quickly. Effectively personalizes the fight for civil and voting rights during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It took many people, most I'm learning about for the first time.

Fascinating, and I'm loving finding other lawyers I greatly admire; I've always been enamored with Atticus, but here there are some real ones. I'm really understanding why it's said that we are beholden to those who come before us. A bunch of heroes in this book, not just the lawyers. And a bunch of villains too.
