This book captures the teenage experience so well. The trouble of balancing family and friends. The troubles of balancing faith and love/lust. The struggles of growing up. The art is amazing and the story is great.

This review is not meant to slag off the book. Im no connoisseur when it comes to literature but i dont understand why this book is being given so much importance & even won the Pulitzer prize. For one thing, a novel written in the 60's about racial-discrimination doesnt warrant it to be a classic. The story is very run-of-the-mill & i think there are loads of unheard books out there which deserve recognition better than this book. Not a bad novel but definitely not in my 1001-must-read-books-before-you-die list (IMHO).
