For modern fiction, it was a really good book. The ending did not feel forced or unrealistic. Lee managed to make philosphical viewpoints without being preachy and his characters and their actions were believeable. Like most modern fiction, the story is filled with numorous characters who stories eventually tie together. I began the book with a pen and paper to write down the characters and their occupations, etc., which helped me quite a bit.
