Summary: Undisputable Genious
Review: This book is undoubtadly the best book of all time. I have read it several times. Though many people tend to think it doesn't mean any more than the actual words written on the pages, it does. Symbolism is key in this book, and people should really take the time to sit down and read it. Everyone should read this book.

Summary: You can relate
Review: This book "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a very touching story. It makes you realize the ignorance and the feelings of others. By reading this book, you can feel the characters living in you. You can understand what they are feeling, because everyone has had their incounter with prejudice at one time or another. Everyone reacts to prejudice in different ways, and you can see the many ways in this book. Some people are afraid of the thoughts other people will give them, others are willing to fight againts the unkind words that they have heard. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a great book. It is a story that will stay with you for all time.

Summary: This Book Deserves 6 *!
Review: This classic should be made required reading for every person in every culture and in every country. If only everyone would read it, and truly understand, identify with and 'learn' from the story and the message found within its pages, I believe the world would be a happier and peaceful place to live in for all."To Kill a Mockingbird" is a 'rich' and compelling story set in 1930s Alabama. It's a story about the purity and innocence of children, about justice (or the lack of it), racism, hypocrisy, human compassion, trust and love (all issues we can relate to) told from the experiences and perspectives of a small child (Scout). The writing is wonderfully beautiful and charming. You'll fall in love with the depth of inner beauty and innocence found in the 2 children (Jem, and especially his sister, Scout/Jean Louis). You'll find yourself rooting passionately for their father (Atticus Finch) to win his case when he chooses to defend a black man on trial for life, despite much social pressure on Finch to give up the case and veiled threats against him and his family. Watch for the part where Finch cross-examines the "victim" (a white girl who accuses the black man of rape) and during his closing speech. Both are excellent courtroom drama (the best I've come across) and they also reveal a lot of the (ugly) truth behind the case. Atticus Finch's sense of justice, perseverence and fighting spirit (the way he stood his ground) are most inspiring and touching. Based on what he believes in, he knows he must "do the right thing", all the more since he has 2 young children who look up to him for guidance on the difference between right and wrong. I also loved reading the precious scenes involving Atticus and his children - Atticus is really a "beautiful" person and a perfect role-model of a dad - at once loving and understanding and patience and fair. And what about the mysterious recluse, Arthur "Boo" Radley who hasn't left his house in years and has become some sort of a terrifying yet intriguing "legend" among the neighbourhood children? Is he really the madman or evil spirit that the children believe him to be? This book (and another winner, "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt) should rank highly in everyone's list of must-reads. What a true gem! Read it and be charmed.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Recently, I had the opportunity to read this great book. "To Kill A Mockingbird" is a must read. The characters are deep and very human. Harper Lee is a wonderful author. She makes the characters come to life. Even though I'm still in high school, I could really feel what they were feeling through her narration. Everyone go get this one!

Summary: my favorite book of all time
Review: I first read this book at age 12. In high school I read it two more times, for class assignments, and have read it again since then. my copy is worn out, so I am buying a hardcover copy, and am sure it will get plenty of use. This is a classic story, and one of the best books ever(my favorite), and i will never get tired of reading it.

Summary: It is a fairly good read, but what is all the buzz for?
Review: Is this really considered a classic? Though issue of race and prejudice is certainly of great importance, I don't see as though its been evoked in this book in some sort of revolutionary way. Tom Robinson's story is painful to hear, and the depth to which Maycomb is developed by the author is impressive, but this book is by no means a classic. The author's style is of no great note, and the plot, while carrying the reader through the duration of the book, is not of a "classic", compelling nature. All in all, a solid book.

Summary: A Good book to curl up with at night
Review: "To Kill a Mockingbird" was one of the best I've read. At first, looking at the cover when it was assigened at school, I thought it would be another boring book for English class. As the days went on, we were assigned cirtain chapters to read each night. i found myself reading ahead without even noticing. I felt like I was in the court room with Scout and jem. This heartwarming tale tells the story of Scout and Jem growing up in a small Alabama town called Maycomb. While their fater, Atticus, is appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accued of the rape of a white woman, the family is coulght up with the racism of the town. The children also make an new friend next dorr at the Radley household. This somewhat strage friendship turns out to be a life saver. I think that everyone should read this book because it show many characteristics of human nature, some that are horribly overlooked by society

Summary: A Classic For A Reason
Review: This book did not get the #1 book of all time from luck of the draw, the book deals with many issues that were very important in the time and has a plot that seems ordinary but you dont realize how much you loved the book until you put it down, and find yourself wanting to run back to it to find out what happens next, I LOVED THIS BOOK

Summary: One of the Best
Review: I first read this book in high school in the '60s. I paid $.60 for it - best money I ever spent! I "learned" a lot about being a kid and a parent from this book. All the characters seem "true" to me. They "melt" in the heat and are fascinated by snow. They get lost in the dark and have fights in the schoolyard. They have interesting neighbors. One of my top ten!

Summary: Absolutely breathtaking
Review: I am in the process of reading this book in 10th grade Honors English. At first, I thought it would be like most books we're expected to read in high school...boring, old tomes, etc. But I got so into the book, and I absolutely fell in love with it during the first chapter. It is a classic novel that takes us through four years when Jem and Scout, the main characters and the children in the book go from Innocence to Experience. They grow up in the book, and I think that everybody should read it. I'm still reading it in school, and watching the movie, and I love it so much, now I'm here, buying it. So, read this book. It's wonderful.
