Summary: To Kill a Mockingbird
Review: I had to read this book for an english class, and i had to read about 60 pages per night. It really is a fast moving book and it makes you want to keep reading and reading. Sometimes i didn't want to stop. Lee's detail was amazing, you could almost picture what was happening. It was just amazing!

Summary: Open Season on Mockingbirds?
Review: I like how the book talked about relationships between different races, particularly blacks and whites, as well as social classes and educational issues. The book gave good historical information about the way things used to be bacl in the day by putting the story into a real life situation in a book. Every facet of the racial factors discussed in the book produced a good moral to learn from. The author did a fantastic job of developing the characters to portray how people really acted during that time period. I would recommend this book to teenagers who want a good book to read and also for those who are doing book reports because it's a timely book with so many issues in society about diversity that also has lots of revelant information about racism.

Summary: 3 stars
Review: This book was very interesting, yet hard to follow at times. I didn't give it a higher score because it lost my interest a lot because there were too many dufferent characters and stories going on to remeber, so it was very hard to want to keep reading. Since I didn't enjoy reading it, it was hard to remeber all the important events. A plus in favor for the book was that it showed how life was back in the early 1900's. The situation in the book that stuck out the most was when Tom Robinson was killed for practically no reason. I couldn't believe that someone could just kill another person without a good reason. I think mostly adults to young adults would enjoy reading this book, because they can comprehend the discrimination that is mentioned. I highly do not suggest that younger children read it, because it would be hard for them to understand many points. Overall this book is very interesting, but I suggest you give you a good amount of time to read it.

Summary: To Kill a Mockingbird was an insightful book for all ages.
Review: The book, To Kill a Mockingbird was an easy and very enjoyable book to read. It was not complicated, although it had an intricate and deep meaning. It was also a book that you could read for hours, because it is very hard to tear yourself away from. It was fun and enjoyable but also a point to get across. The most memorable moment in the book, and my favorite, is when the main character, Scout, realizes the truth about a character she has had a false opinion of for a long time. She comes to the conclusion that this character is really just there to help and care for her, when for a long time she thought he was a danger to her. It is a heartwarming part and teaches everyone to take a closer look at those around them. All in all, this book is a good teacher and a fun book to read. I would recommend it to anyone. TKAM was a book that I would recommend for any age group. Although it is a fairly easy read, I think any adult who hasn't read this book is missing out. Also, because it is easy and uncomplicated to read, younger readers are able to enjoy it.

Summary: A very exciting book!
Review: I loved the book To Kill a Mockingbird because it was so exciting. I didn't want to put it down because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. This book would appeal to people of all ages. I think everyone can relate to at least one of the characters or situiations. The plot of the story was the most interesting to me because it never died down, but it wasn't too complicated either. This book should be red by all audiences because it is great and understandable from anyone's perspective.

Summary: TKAM
Review: The book To Kill a Mockingbird was very well written about Pre-judgments. Pre-judgements are still very common in the world today.This book was very easy to read and was very understandable. I also liked the book because it showed very many real life situations. What really stuck out to me was the relationships that Atticus built with the black people. They trusted Atticus in every way possible. Back then it was looked down upon to be friends with black people, let alone defend them in a courtroom. Not very many people believed it was right to be friends with black people. Atticus, Jem, and Scout, didn't care what people said. They did what was right in their hearts and that's all that matters. I think everyone should read and enjoy this book at least once in their lifetime. It will open and expand your mind about racism and pre-judgements.

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: I would give the book 3.5 to 4 stars because it was truly fantastic book that I enjoyed, and it dealt with real life issues in history, but some cahpters do however drag on. I liked the book because of the real life examples in history, it was about three kids growing up and that brought back memories. It showed good examples of prejudice and point of view changes. I would recomend this book to all ages, but there are some chapters that may be offensive to some dealing with race, and social ranking. Overall it was a good book about growing up, and I recomend anyone to read it.

Summary: To Kill A Mockingbird amazingly remains an exceptional novel
Review: To Kill a Mockingbird was a very enjoyable book. Harper Lee created a phenomenal page turner. It is hard to believe, however, that she wrote it over 40 years ago. The novel's pacing, character development, and social messages seem to have come from a background of thriller novels, action movies, and cable television. This is a tribute to the skills of Harper Lee. The way the characters are introduced and woven into the storyline was exhilarating. The rarely seen Boo Radley, for example, is one of the most important characters, even though he does not appear until the last chapters of the book. The author makes him a presence early on, through the children's imaginations. Boo remains in the reader's imagination from that point. The trial scenes stuck out the most as being a memorable part of the book. The detail that Harper Lee used placed you in the balcony with Jem, Scout, and the Reverend Sykes. It made you feel like you were right there, hoping the jury would correctly decide Tom Robinson's fate. The description of it all was even somewhat informational. There is no one particular audience or age group for To Kill A Mockingbird. It is a great book for everyone who is old enough to read and understand it. It is a classic novel that interests, excites, informs, and inspires its readers.

Summary: A Lesson in Judging People
Review: This novel was an excellent eye opener for me. It helped me realize how people judge others so harshly. I had never realized how unfair some issues are just because of someone's skin color or because they may be different. I recommend this book, being the eye opener that it was, to any high school student looking for a book to really catch there attention and to get them thinking. In this novel the one thing that stuck out to me is how people were so judgmental about everything that happened. Everyone in the whole town is judgmental about everyone and thing that happened. For one, this book can teach you things about the history of blacks and there struggle through rough times in the south. The details of hatred in this book are so visible it really makes you see what people were treated like back then. The way these people are treated, makes you realize how lucky you are. Second, this opens your eyes to the world of parenting through Atticus. It helps you see how difficult it is to raise kids being a single parent. Atticus does a great job letting the kids realize for themselves the facts of life. Finally, I enjoyed this book because it was not too complex. Some people enjoy books that make you think and have very complex plots. Don't get me wrong this book makes you think but it is a little more up front about the plot. It tells you how it is and stills makes a huge impact.

Summary: Extremely Enjoyable
Review: As a High School student most books I've had to read for English are very boring. But To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the est books I have ever read. It deals with issues on racism, prejudice and importance of conscience so well. From the silent strong hero of Atticus to the headstrong tomboy Scout, you will never forget this book.
