I have read it. I thought it was great. Written through the eyes of an eight year old girl. It reads with the innocents of an eight year old who writes it as she sees it and leaves you to draw your own conclusions. Classic.
The film was very good too. Shows the shocking racism of the South during those years. I hate racism.
