Lee’s narration has a beguiling innocence that masks the sorrowful content; it is a children’s book and some parts made me wish I’d read it in school instead of now; perfect ending.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
