Rating: Summary: The best book I've ever read Review: As a child, I was an outcast at school. So I turned to books. I first read TKAM when I was 11. I found my copy in a box of books my mother bought at a garage sale, and I instantly fell in love. Almost 9 years (and countless books) later, this is still my favourite book, and I never tire of reading it. To Kill a Mockingbird has something for everyone. For me, it was Scout's first years at school, so similar to my own, and her abilities in reading and writing (I can't remember not knowing how to read). I highly recommend this book to everyone. It makes you feel as though you were there, and isn't that the mark of a great book?
Rating: Summary: A great book worth reading Review: This book is one of the most greatest book that explains racism in the South, showing how people strive for justice for someone of another color. Harper Lee has weaved the characters' everyday lives with th plot of the story. If this book isn't pheonmonal, I don't know what is.

Rating: Summary: Inspiring! Review: Harper Lee takes us to the heart of an institution called the family. I found this book not only inspiring, but suspenseful. There is only one problem: it doesn't have a main plot or problem. It is just a story of a few years in the life of the Finches.
Rating: Summary: This book stinks!!!!! Review: This book is lacking creativity of chacters and of imagination of plot.Harper Lee has written a 281 page documentory of nothing. It uses unutterable words and displeasing language. I waw required to read this book and hope I will never have to read it again. It is a slow unresearched peice of literature that has been overated for years.
Rating: Summary: It's a very inspring book! Review: I read To Kill A MockingBird as an english text. The book was slow for the first couple of chapters, but then pulled me in. Harper's use of language and the imagination of Scout really set it off. Thanks for writing a true to life novel!
Rating: Summary: Beautiful Review: I read this one after having been told for ten years that "I cannot believe you've read so many books and missed this one!" I had balked because I know that this book is routinely assigned to eighth graders, and was concerned that I'd be underwhelmed by the novel's level of "sophistication". I can happily say that my apprehensions were ridiculously misplaced.True - the writing is generally pretty facile, only occasionally brilliant: "...like Mount Everest, she was cold and there." This notwithstanding, the development of theme, and the beautiful ideals described by this novel make it both timeless and necessary. Harper Lee has done that to which we should all aspire: extracted a kernal of nobility from the human experience.
Rating: Summary: The best book I've ever read! Review: What is sad is if you read all the reviews on here you'll see one or two who slate the book without much reason. This book is a fantastic tale that shows racial and other prejudice for what it is: shameful. It's a shame not everyone can learn from this book and Atticus Finch! Give it a chance, buy this book!
Rating: Summary: Great book!! It's very moving and I recomend it to anyone. Review: This book was so good that When I finally got my 13yr.old- anti-book -sister to read it she couldn't put it down. This moving novel about a brother and sister who learn valuble life lessons by watcing thier wise, lawyer/ father go against the grain as he defends a negro on a rape charge to a white women. They learn to control thier anger aginst most of the town who opposes thier fathers decision and learn more out of the whole trial than they'll ever know.
Rating: Summary: A GREAT BOOK! Review: I read this book two years ago when I was in tenth grade. It was a class assignment, and I have to say, it was the best book I've ever had to read for school. It was interesting and very well written. That explains why I got such a good grade on the book test. Read it! You'll love it! A true classic!
