Indeed. I could be wrong but it seems to me that To Kill a Mockingbird was the origin of that child POV angle Stephen King does so well.Hooky wrote:To Kill a Mockingbird is a masterpiece. RIP.

Re: Harper Lee
I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece, tho if it were truly fictional then perhaps a masterpiece, the diffculty with one book authors is to distinguish between reality and fiction and the lines are often blurred.Hooky wrote:To Kill a Mockingbird is a masterpiece. RIP.
It is very well written, I wonder if she had any assistance from Truman Capote?

McCoy's only contribution to Potter was Crispin Cronk, I think.
