Summary: Maybe the best book I've ever explored!
Review: This book is great not only because of the moral value it brings but for the description of the point of vue of a 6 year old child that's going threw things that kids usually experience at age 13 or 14 but what I think fascinated me the most was the people thought in the southern county of Maycomb.Why did Miss Lee decied to make Tom Robinson die maybe she could of made him a hero and prove that life was good for everybody.But I guess it made me think more about reality.The part that touched most and made a few tears run down my cheaks was when Boo Radley saved Jem at the end.Iswear it made me love his role in the book.I wish there was a sequel to this book.But there would probably be no point.

I wish people who read this book don't have to read it by force but by pleasure.

Thank you

A great touched fan.

Summary: The book is really good when you analyze it.
Review: This book was really good. Although at parts the fact that Scout was the narrarator sort of got hard to understand, most of it was great, and a lot of fun. When I analyzed it for fun, I got even more out of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A powerful American classic enjoyable by people of all ages
Review: Once you read "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, you will realize that this book is one that will touch you forever. The characters are so poignant, so real and so touching. The plot realistically portrays racism, as well as it's effects and reactions to it, in the South at the time. Lee does an excellent job incorporating reality, the somberness of the matter at heart, as well as a few laughs for good measure, into this book. You may laugh, you may cry-- but the inevitable truth is that you will end up reading a book that is very difficult to put down, and impossible to forget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harper Lee said it best:"a love story, pure and simple."
Review: TKAM is a wonderful book about growing up in a small Alabama town in the 1930's. It shows the maturing of the children, their life struggles, their trimuphs etc. Harper Lee does a wonderful job of letting you get inside the mind of Scout Finch and puts you in her shoes. Putting yourself in someone else's shoes is a common theme and Harper Lee made me feel that I was Scout, I was a close confidant of hers, or that I could see right into her mind and feel what she felt. TKAM is full of symbolism and is a touching novel. A+

Summary: This Book Is Great!
Review: I first read this book because I knew I'd be forced to read it later this year. I was sucked into the story of Scout, a six year old girl who innocently watches the events that unfold in her town around a black man accused of rape. This story is full of interesting characters, truthful morals, and humorous irony. I was also suprised to find a writer who does children justice. Instead of having them be "a bunch of dumb kids" they show insight and personality. Go Harper Lee!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best book in the world!
Review: I have read this book at least 10 times (and I don't even like to read), and I absolutely love it!!! It is a moving, deep story of prejudice, family, and friends in the south, and its so different and great cause it is told by one person, but she expresses many views. You have not read a good book until you've read To Kill A Mockingbird.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST OF THE BEST!
Review: I was sixteen years old when I first read this book. As with many, it was required reading. The night before it was due, I decided I would attempt to muster through it. I kept reassuring myself that if I could manage to hit the halfway mark, I'd be okay...boy, was I in for a surprise! When I got half of the book finished, I realized something strange: for the first time in my life, I did not want to stop reading, even if it was to get a drink or eat. Harper Lee had spun a tale that I could relate to, growing up in Geneva, Alabama. I was Scout. Lee had taken this mixed-up world that we lived in and turned it on its ear by showing it to us through the eyes of someone we once knew--ourselves. So much of this novel reminded me of how I was as a child--wide-eyed and innocent, before the world and all of its troubles set in. I have read many of the reviews here and while most are for the novel, the ones against and the reasoning behind them bother me. Many of the allegations are that this book is prejudice. This book is no more prejudice than any other great work of fiction. It is just portraying life as it was back then. If the truth is always right, then why isn't this book? I'm not agreeing with the views, but am also adult enough to know that they did exist and to acknowledge their presence. The other allegation, that children could not feel the emotion Lee writes about is ludicrous. How can one person know what another feels? Children do experience a whole scale of human emotion, just are unable to give it a name. Any emotion can be felt at any age. To make a long story short, BUY THIS BOOK! You will not be sorry. If you've already read it, reread it and pass it on your children. It will be one thing you passed on that they will be grateful for always.

Summary: I'm buying this book for my son.
Review: When I was 10, I saw the movie and, at my father's urging, read the book. Both are masterpieces and still bring tears to my eyes. This Christmas, my son is 10. He loves computer games and shoot-em-ups and all the stuff 10-year-old boys love. He also loves to read. It's time he read To Kill A Mockingbird and learned what courage really is. That hate is fear. That violence is cowardly. That prejudice is an easy out for a lazy mind. I want Atticus Finch to be my son's hero, as he was mine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was an alround good book
Review: It was a little funny and it really made you thin
