I read this growing up and am reading it again with my daughter. Enjoyed it both times around though with somewhat of a different perspective being a parent this time. The character role of the aunt is interesting; could be developed more!

I just finshed reading this book for my grade 10 english class. At first i thought it would be a regular boring book that the teacher gives you and you answers questions but its not, Its a book that gets you thinking about huan life altoghter and how some people are treated. I learn alot from reading this book. there is a great deal of Satire and foreshadowing used. I'm glad my teacher made me read this. the characters Harper Lee made are amaign. Especially Little Scout Fitch who tells it from… + read more

I feel a bit silly writing a review for a book that has been in publication for so many years and is already held in such high esteem...but I LOVED this book so much I had to say something. I usually struggle with books that have been deemed 'great' because there is such high expectations involved that I feel the stories often fall short. Not so with this book! The story is about the Finches, a Southern family living in a small town during the Great Depression. Numerous issues are involved… + read more

Great story and meaningful theme.

8 months ago

I read this book 2 years ago and found it very difficult. This time i read faster and had a much better understanding of it. I really enjoyed reading this book. It had many adventures and mysteries in it. The characters were well developed and the narrator went into depth with detail. I'm interested in law, and the court scenes were probably my favorite. I really like that the book had a strong theme on racism and human equality. I would definitely read it again.

I read this book for school and yes, i really did love it! The writing is very good and the characters are so dynamic unlike most of the static ones you get in today's books for young people. I personally believe that every person should read this book atleast once in their lifetime. It really helps you understand how Alabama was in the 1930s and teaches you to value the society we live in today. With all that being said, i truly don't understand why this title is so worldly known… + read more

... I'm doing this book for my English drama production at school and I'm playing the character Jem Finch, the lawyer's son (Atticus Finch). I am a girl playing a male character, that's because I go to a girls private school so no guys :P lol. I really did enjoy this production a lot and it is my first play this year too :) I recommend this novel to anyone that likes suspense, action, thrill and mystery. I liked it soooo much the first time I read it, but I since I read it everyday because of… + read more

A 'MUST' Read

This review is from: To Kill A Mockingbird (Trade Paperback)

2 years ago

To Kill a Mockingbird is a timeless, coming of age novel. What can I say, that has not already been said about this classic, wonderful book. I can say nothing more then how I feel. It's a novel that is not only a book, its more then that. It takles down prejudice in a most knowledgable and sentimental way. This is a book that you won't just read, you'll read again, and again, and again, and then during all this, you'll be telling all your friends and family about this book, people you see… + read more

REALITY, sad but...true ( L )

9 months ago

Ok, I finally understand, why so many people love this book. It showed the truth back in 1935. A sad reality yes, but a reality where it teaches you things in the end. I wish I actually bought this book instead of having to give it back to my grade 10 teacher. I love how the ending connects with the beginning, and Harper Lee's little summary toward the end of the book as well! I can't believe I haven't read this book early! It was really and truly Amazing!
