Summary: A Thrilling Adventure
Review: I htought this was an exciting book with excellent morals. Most parts of this amazingly exciting book left me wanting to keep reading the book. I liked this book becasue there was a mystery character and I wanted to keep reading to find out more about him. I also liked this book becasue it is a realistic event that could happen. I loved how through the book there was always an event that made me want to continue reading to find out what happens. A character that got my attention was Scout. She was a strong-willed and courageous girl who knew when to stand up for what is right. After all that she went through inb her life, she stood tall and proud and didn't let much get her down. Any type of audience should enjoy this book. It deals with many aspects on life and I recommend this book for everyone to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book!
Review: I rated To Kill a Mockingbird 5 stars. This book is the "handbook" on racism, sexism, and descrimination against social classes. I enjoyed this book due to the understanding level it was on. I think because it was though the eyes of a young child they made it very plain and comprehendable but because Scout was smart and intelligent, Harper Lee could still use knowledge about a second grader's. I think this book helps teenagers especially deal with the idea that racism and sexism will never completely go away but that they can still deal with it to the best of their ability. I think the author definatly intended this book for young adults. If a young child read this book, it would fly over their heads and leave them with more questions than answers. The language is inappropriate for most children but yet is understood by young adults. This book helps teenagers in many ways.

Summary: One of the Best Assidned Books I've Read
Review: I've just begun to read this book. I was assigned it for English class. Usually, the books we are assigned are old and boring, and we have to analize them until we hate the book with vengence. This book is surrounded in mystery and it acctually helps to analize it. I suggest this book for grades 6-10 as an introduction to a high school English class. I enjoyed it greatly and think anyone who reads it, young or old will enjoy it :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What I Think
Review: The book is about a killer and a man who was accused of raping a woman, The part I didn't like was where the dog was shot, and I like when that little girl who talks like an adult was wearing the ham costume, and the part when she tries to bite Boo. I recommend this book because I think that it was a good story, but if you dont want to read you should just watch the movie. The movie is the same as the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting, Excellent, Extraordinary
Review: To Kill A Mockingbird is filled with moral lessons, adventure and humor. The children's growth and maturity thoughout this story is true to life. Their relationships with each other, their father, neighbors and other relatives engage the reader and keep you wanting more whether those relationships are positive or negative. The characters and the descriptions of the neighborhood and town are vivid. When reading this book, one becomes linked with the characters as if those townfolk were one's own. It can't be put down until it is finished. And the finish is worth the wait.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book to be read again and again and again.
Review: Told through the eyes of a child who does not see the humor in much of what she says, this story deals with the most vital issues of life--family, neighbors, prejudices, growing up. Family for Scout and Jem Finch is Atticus, their father, and Calpurnia, their caregiver in his absence. Prejudices Lee explores include religion, race, and class. As Scout matures, she learns to think for herself and can see the world from the perspective of Tom Robinson, Mayella Ewell, and Boo Radley. A delightful book, the simple tale told by an eight year old child covers all the tragedy and depth of which the human spirit is capable.
