Summary: A classic: You won't be able to put it down!
Review: This book is great! It's almost like an embelished life story of Harper Lee, minus all the boring parts. The characters are very clear, with incredibly interesting conflicts and stories. The first part of the book is all background, but it isn't dull background: It's all leading up to an invisible point that the author sets ahead.To Kill A Mockingbird is one of those books that grabs you in and lets you see everything from the charcters' points of view, right along with them. And it's the kind of book that ANYONE can read! I highly recommend it!

Summary: I liked the book a lot and all should read it.
Review: I thought it was a wonderful book, I think that every one should read this book. It was an interesting plot that was unpridictable. The ending is totally unexpected. Harper Lee is great at detail. The book was full of detail and I really got a great sketch of the whole picture of the town. Dont see the movie. I didnt like it, I thought it wasnt worth seeing, but read the book!!!

Summary: It was a Masterpeice of 1930's Racism
Review: I love how the racism was shown ohh so brilliantly. I love all the charcters, especially Mr. Ewell, he seemed life like, I also enjoyed the enthuseasem of Mayella on the stand, not able to back down from what she had said, or acussed Tom of. Atticus was pretty cool, and was Brought to life by Harper Lee. Jem and Scout were a little to nice and understanding of each other to come off as family, but it made for a heart-warming experience.

Summary: One of the few must-reads
Review: There are few books that everyone must read to understand American literature... perhaps fifty. Not only is To Kill A Mockingbird in that group, it's in the small subset that can be grasped by a young reader -- in fact, can teach a young reader great lessons about both history and life -- and yet be returned to throughout one's life for a refresher of humanity and of its lessons. It is, to be blunt, a unique book. There is nothing else like it. It shaped my childhood; its ideals shape my adulthood. If you're a fan of Star Trek, as I am, you'll see ideals that you see in Trek throughout the book -- for example, this might be the work that comes closest to an Earth-bound expression of IDIC. [P.S.: There are two Trek connections to the filmed version... Paul Fix (the Judge/Dr. Piper in the second Trek pilot) and Brock Peters (Atticus' client/Captain Sisko's father on Deep Space 9).] If you have not read Harper Lee's masterwork, you're poorer for it. No matter your age, it's never too late to learn its majesty and consider its wisdom.

Summary: They made me read it, it was OK but really it was pointless
Review: Basically its kind of a autobiography about her, but as I say its boring and pointless!!
Rating: 
Summary: Doesn't even deserve the one star...
Review: Although the author had some good points, I must say that this book sucked a big fat one star. I thought it was horribly thought out and it was considerably a snoozer. I seriously feel asleep readin this. I advise and suggest that nobody dare pick up this book. You may die of boredom.

Summary: well-written and moving
Review: This is one of those few books I read in school that I really enjoyed. Students tend to resist being forced to read books (and a lot of them don't have enough wattage in their brains to understand them anyway), but I remember finishing this book and shaking my head at Lee's brilliance. The previous 200+ reviews pretty much summed up the plot and then some, so there's not much more to say... except that what made the book special for me was Scout's comment on the very last page, on the metaphor between what had happened in the book and the killing of mockingbirds, given airtime earlier in the book. That image is moving and sad, and acted as perfect closure to the book, despite what previous reviewers have said. Whether Harper Lee intended to make this message or not, the painful events that have happened in the book were brought home to make a moving statement with those last lines. For all those people who complained about the racism and rape trial in the book: Grow up! That's like complaining about a book on physics being devoted to physics, or an sf novel being set in the future. What do you people expect? Take out the focus of this book and the second half of the book disappears. One more comment: Considering that I once had a review for Amazon.com never accepted because of an afterthought and a factual correction from the review I had just sent in for the same book, I find it amazing (and infuriating) that what was obviously a single person from Massachussetts has _thirteen_ reviews, all submitted on March 1, for this book. One wouldn't think it would be that difficult to notice, say, that the last 5 were obviously coming from one source, when they noticed and rejected a shorter, much less extreme (and more relevant) afterthought from me. Food for thought.

Summary: Interesting book
Review: I thought that this was an interesting book. The first 15 chapters were all background. That might be a little too enduring. I personally think that the author shouldn't have spent half the book on background. But if you think about it, the story wouldn't have been as long without it. It was mostly fill-in. I think that the last 15 chapters were interesting and quality writing. So were the first 14, but the last had a good plot. I just wish the ending had had a little more conflict. It seemed to end awfully abruptly. But that was just the last half of chapter 31. The book is an American classic. And this is just my opinion.
