Summary: Great!
Review: I first got this book for my Literature and i got feedback from my Aunts and my mum. And they all said stuff like it was a really boring book. So i read it for myself and guess what! I actually found it GREAT! I recommend this book for all those who love Literature and reading. It contains good Vocabulary and this would be a great help to those who lack it. Being told from the child's point of view, it was exciting and of course, humourous! Read it! it's the perfect read!

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: To Killl A Mockingbird is a slow start book. Harper Lee put herself in the book as Scout. She has a brother, Jem, her father is Atticus, and a family cook, Calpericus. The time period is of when people were very racist. Their father is a lawyer and ends up defending an "innocent" black man. The family is singled ou, plus they have a black cook. Time passes, and Atticus gets older, so Jem does more things with Scout. Yes, I would have someone read this book. It goes through a very interesting court trial. The trial displays the feelings white people had for black people. Once you get past the begining, the book keeps your attention, and makes you want to keep reading. There are many exciting "run-ins" with characters that are a joy to read.

Summary: Such a great book!
Review: Harper Lee gets to you, from the start. she covers important issues like racism and growth. She creates such a vivid picture in your head, and covers the alabama accent clearly. I had to read this in 9th grade, and I plan on buying this book soon. There is a lot of symbolism in the book and hidden messages. Everyone should read it at least once!

Summary: a little slice of heaven
Review: one thing no one ever remembers to mention about this book: it's funny (if you have anything resembling a sense of humor, you will laugh out loud at least once, gauranteed...but be warned, you might just cry a little too...).There is much that one can learn in it's pages about ethics, the depression era south, parenting, respect, dignity, pride, and crafting a well written sentence (the subtler points of these tend to be universally lost on 14 year olds and high school english teachers alike). well worth the time and money!

Summary: To Kill a Mockingbird
Review: The book To Kill a Mockingbird was an great book. However, there were parts of the book which nI did not agree with, and did not like. The book got off to a boring, slow start, but turned out to be an excellent book. The book is writted through this girl named Scout. She has a brother, Jem, and a best friend, Dill. The book starts out with the three of them trying to get Boo Radley out of his house. However, during the middle of the book they get involved in a trial, which leads to what happens in the end. This book has excellent suspence, and an excellent story line. I suggest this book to everyone. It is a great book! :) Note: dont let the slow start make you quit this book in the beginning. The book gets sooooo much soooooo much sooooo much better! Read this book!

Summary: THE BIGGEST FAN OF THIS BOOK
Review: Well I am only 14 but when my dad wanted me to read this book I wasn't all to thrilled about it, I usually don't find many books that I really enjoy, But this one touched the heart, kept me wanting more the whole time, and the characters are so realistic, you feel like you could be one of them. My favorite part of this book is the mystery about Boo Radly, thats what kept me wanting to find out who he really was. I recomand this book to everyone ages 11 and up. Its one of the greatest classics. Read it and find out.

Summary: One of The Best Books I've Ever Read
Review: I am not a reader, but right when I opened this book my freshman year of high school, it was wonderful. The adventures of Scout, Jem and Dill are amazing. Scout relates to a lot of girls who are "Tom Boys" like I used to be. The mysterious Boo Radley makes you want to continue reading, as he hides more and more things in the tree. The Ewell's were a horrible family... Dirty, and really rude people... I thought this book was written extremely well, in fact, next to The Great Gatsby, this has got to be one of my favorite books. You should reasd this book when you get the chance.

Summary: One of the finest novels ever!
Review: I found this book an absolute pleasure to read. It flows well and the characters are very compelling. And, not only is it a "good read", but there are excellent morals and values to be found as well. It's a book that could be read over and over again, with new insights gleaned each time.

Summary: Claire Smith's review
Review: To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is based mainly on racialprejudice, love, and injustice in society. The main ideas that reallystuck out in my mind were the ideas of racial discrepancies and human dignity. Harper Lee really captured these two ideas in her book. Back then in the 1930s it was normal to look dowm on people because they were a different race. Atticus said it best: "you don't really know someone until you walk around in their shoes." I think this quote was a very significant part of the book. There was another part in the book when Ms. Gates stated: "We live in a democracy kids, over here we don't persecute other people." That simple statement really reflected the whole idea of the town and all across America
