Summary: Oh, puh-leeze
Review: I really, REALLY hated this book. Like most people that hate it, I too was forced to read it for English class. I want to start by saying they shouldn't make us read books like this anyway. People can get the wrong idea about racism. But besides that, the whole book is being waaay overestimated. I've read books that are much better (Terry Pratchett, for example,) but they're not manadtory for reading. Down with Big Brother. Ezekiel.

Summary: An exquisite work
Review: This was a book that stuck with me weeks after I first read it. The novel covers so many relevant themes: tolerance, justice, the title To Kill a Mockingbird. It made me weep for all the mockingbirds of the world, those who do no harm yet are punished anyway. It also made me angry at our society, and angry at human nature in general. It was a truly special book, and I loved the ending. It was perfect.

Summary: Magnificent
Review: This would have to be my all time favorite book. The analysis of characters and of the community they live in was done wonderfully. It took a good look at racism, leaving the reader with an understanding of how things really were like during that time. This is a definete must read.

Summary: How could anyone pass this by?
Review: I cannot explain why so many people have found this book so moving. I can only tell you that it deserves all of the praise it receives. I read this book as a young girl growing up in the South and thought I understood, and that I had grown up. I read it again as an adolescent, and felt I had grown a bit more. I've read it several times more as an adult. I continue to reread it over time, I continue to grow, and I continue to marvel at the power of the elegant simplicity of this tale. READ THIS BOOK.

Summary: Extremely well written with a flawless plot.
Review: The book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a masterpiece of words. The book is extremely well written. Harper Lee creates a realistic time a while ago, and she makes you feel as if you were Scout, as if you were living in that world. She creates a flawless plot, and this proves that she is a wonderful author and her books are real masterpieces of words.

Summary: Changes teenage prejudices...
Review: I had to choose a novel for an independent novel study in grade 11 english. Since my aunt is a teacher, I asked her which book she would choose out of the six that were available...including "To Kill A Mockingbird". Well, she suggested that particular book, and told me that it was a great place to learn something about morals and ways of thinking... Oh yay....another lif-lesson...well, couldn't hurt me, right? And she is a teacher, so she MUST know something... Well, i go to a school that is kinda cliquey, and a bit prejudiced, and i kinda have the prejudism built in (sounds bad, i know). After reading Harper Lee's epic, i realized small things that have truly taught me a lesson...it REALLY doesn't matter what separates one person from another, but what they can offer. I know this sounds really after-school-special- ish, but it's true....through certain characters' innocence and others' ignorance, a balance and emotional grid is created. This novel is a definite MUST-HAVE.
