Is it a women? Then no chance.

Also, the book offers nothing except 'hurr raysisum is bad xD'. Protip: it's not. It's genetically and evolutionarily wired into us and there's a racial hierarchy with whites on top. Also, fuck women writers, their inferior

Please don't post such poor content

Fuck, I read that when I was 10 and got the gist. It's hardly subtle. Why would a 12 year old need guidance, unless it's retarded?

I meant more a full appreciation of the themes, rather than just the plot

>>8961612
Well, I got that too. Themes are pretty basic in that book.

To continue, it comes back to whether said 12 year old is a retard or not.

I read this for fun when I was 12 and enjoyed it a lot. I don't think a kid needs any guidance at all to appreciate it... I was so interested I sat through the movie afterwards even though it's in black and white, which was a deal breaker for me at 12.
As far as themes go, yes, they're easy to pick up on. Beyond racism, I remember thinking about Scout's relationship with her dad and about justice and I was distinctly angry about how sometimes the thing we knew was right wasn't allowed to work out by the system/majority/circumstance.
I don't know why people trash this book for fun but I think a 12 year old interested in reading would enjoy it just as I did.

Of course. It's liberal propoganda meant to teach kids that black people are morally superior and white people are evil at a young age.

Boy or girl?
If girl, pics?

Aren't 12 year olds the only demographic that are able to appreciate what this book has to offer?

Of a 12 year old? You nasty fuck.
