Rating: Summary: just being a teen. Review: i think this book is very increatable it helps people cop with all the racism around them and i really enjoyed it.
Rating: Summary: The best book ever written!!! Review: This book is the best I have ever read. it takes me to the south and links me to the past and how Harper Lee grew up. It shows the spectrum of how people in the south from the bigoted country men to the dignified man who would defend any man no matter his race. The book also shows how children's perceptions are changed through time. To see her llife through a man's she was afraid of to begin with and grew to know and like him. The best book ever written, now or in the future.
Rating: Summary: A book one can learn from Review: This is a book that I have read over 100 times, since I was a teenager. I probably re-read it every two years for the last ten years, and everytime I read it, I learn something new about attitudes towards life. There are many characters in the story, and we learn something from each character. In some ways, we learn with Jem and Scout. We learn not to take people at their face value and what other people say about them (Boo Radley). We learn to stand up for what we believe in. We learn about what real courage is and we learn how gentle people can easily be victimized and misunderstood.The great thing about this book is that even with all these great "lessons", it is a very interesting and funny book. It is interesting because it is narrated in the eyes of an eight-year old. The book was about Jem's and Scout's childhood experiences. We cheered and sympathized with their fortunes and misfortunes. We smiled when Scout asked Walter Cunningham "what the samhill he was doing with the syrup" and we gasped when Scout was stuck in the tire going into Boo Radley's front yard. And aren't we all touched, just like Jem, when we found Jem's pants were mended, however clumsily, by Boo?
Rating: Summary: A good novel that is well written that shows segregation Review: A great novel in the respect that it shows how the world really works and how life used to be. The world still acts this way but this book shows how bad segregation really was. It is well written and explains it from every angle possible.
Rating: Summary: Almost perfect, but perfection is impossible Review: Of the two novels I was required to read this year at school (and the science ficton novels and short stories I read on my own). This was the best. Few books effect me the way this one does (two others being Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and Ernest Hemingway's the Old Man and the Sea). That is the story(s) these book tell true on a higher level. The minor characters are deeper then the main characters in many novels (take that atrocity called "A Seperate Peace" for example). This book also has all the extra goodies, wit, social criticism, irony, a vivid setting. I can not imagine a person not liking this book.
Rating: Summary: Superb book Review: "To Kill A Mockingbird" is one of the true American classics. It is a novel filled with all of the true lessons in life- dignity, equality, honesty, and, above all, human compassion. Scout's innocence makes her a likable and honest character with an insight beyond her years. I strongly recommend this book to everyone.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ Review: As a 15 year old I thought that "To Kill a Mockingbird" would be boring and like any other book I am required to read, but after getting hooked and reading the whole thing in a day and a half I learned that it was both informative and fun to read too. I strongly recommend this book to any person young or old. Enjoy!
