Rating: Summary: this is a spectacular book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read and I recomend it to anyone someone who likes to read or doesn't like to read it is a excellent book expecially part two
Rating: Summary: W * O * W * ! ! * * ! ! Review: This book was really great. I really enjoyed it and I think that anyone young or old would definetely love it! It has great details and the description of the people and their "language" (chillun, an') is great. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who loves to read, or even who doesnt exactly love to read...like me. Even me, who hates to read, had to read this book for a school assignment and i couldnt put it down...especially in part 2. to everyone: GO GET THE BOOK...ITS TIGHT.
Rating: Summary: Well written EXCEPT Review: I thought this was a very well written book except for the fact that you forget the book is being told by a 6 year old child. The feelings and emotions felt by Scout throughout the novel far exceed the emotions felt by any other children her age. An example of this is at the end of the book after she is attacked by Mr. Ewell. The emotions she feels towards out on the porch are impossible after such a traumitizing event.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful. What more can I say? Review: It's a shame people have given this less than five stars because they expected it to be more because they heard it was a Great American Novel. Just pick this up and read it as it was any other book, and then look back on it. You will realize how wonderful it really was. It captures childhood innocence and the predjudice in life. Great movie too. Scout, Jem, Dill, Atticus, Boo.. the list goes on, but were all very realistic characters. I wonder why Ms. Harper Lee didn't write anymore. I think it's a shame some of you are bashing this book that only is there to provide us with enjoyment. It's kinda like killing a mockingbird..
Rating: Summary: This book has to be one of the few that is indescribable Review: I have never in my life wept during a book. I mean seriously cried my eyes out. And yet, when I read this (how should I say it) fabulously entrancing novel, I was filled with a feeling that I have never felt before in my life. This is a book that should be treasured as a jem for the rest of eternity. If anyone dies before reading this, there life will be incompleted.
Rating: Summary: Great book!!!!! Now I know why its a classic! Review: My sister bought this book for me for Christmas last year, and I just got around to reading it. I know now that I should have read it sooner! I've heard all this stuff about why its a classic and all, but I didn't pay any attention to it. Ok, I have to admit this, it isn't as WONDERFULLY WRITTEN AND A BOOK I'D READ OVER AND OVER AGAIN kinda thing. It wasn't that great. But it was still really cool. I remember thinking throughtout the whole book that Scout was like, 8 or something. When she said that she finally started 3rd grade, I was really amazed. I guess I didn't pay that much attention to that part of it. Still good tho! Well, I gotta go! Gonna go rent the movie!
Rating: Summary: A GREAT book Review: I read this with my class in the 6th grade and LOVED it. This is a great book, and I loved how the characters developed. We spent forever studying this book, acting out the scenes, we watched the movie, etc. One of the best parts os studying this was acting out the secene where Scout brings Walter home. But it wasn't just the class. The book itself has such an excellent plot, great for a southerner like myself
Rating: Summary: One of the Classics********* Review: This book took me to Maycomb and let me see it through the eyes of a wonderful, facinating young girl. I would recomend this book to everyone. It is one of the Classics
Rating: Summary: A Lovely Book. Review: This is one of the loveliest books I've read. One simply falls in love with the characters in the book. The way Atticus speaks to his children touches a chord in your heart. A book, after reading which, you feel good.
Rating: Summary: Ohmigosh, so ridiculous... Review: Again, I was forced to read this, and once again I was disappointed. The only memorable part I actually enjoyed reading was the very first page, where whatsherface talks about the heat of the city. The descriptive languge there tends to suggest that the rest of the novel will be the same, but *it wasn't*. *snore* Alas, I've seen another "great American novel" be tossed aside..when you've actually found a decent one tell me.BTC
