Summary: Masterpiece
Review: I would not be engaging in hyperbole when I say that To Kill A Mockingbird was the single most important book I've read in my life. I am 35 now, and I read the book at 13 years of age. Although a voracious reader long before 13, this book was the first piece of true Literature which I had the pleasure of devouring. It showed me how great literature, great *art*, could transcend the mundane and resonate in the soul ages after reading its final words. With this book my love of literature kicked into hyperdrive, and I'd have to say that if not for To Kill A Mockingbird I would not have gone on to major in Literature in college. It still remains a favorite that I re-read every few years. As an aside, I might add that the movie version was one of the most thoughtful, true-to-the-spirit-of-the-original-work adaptations that I have ever seen on the big screen (or the small screen, for that matter). I can only hope that this book will continue to be taught in our schools for generations to come.

Summary: I Loved This Book
Review: This is a great book about life in the South during the 1930s. It's about a brother, sister, and a neighbor named "Dill", and the adventures (realistic adventures) that they go on.

Summary: I hated reading books in school- till I met this one!
Review: The more I read of this book, the more I learned to love it. Who has read enough John Grisham books but is still interested in reading about law and justice and the means to oppose these, try this book, that fascinates by its great emotions that let the reader feel with little Scout.

Summary: An unforgettable novel
Review: This unforgettable novel told through the eyes of a child is moving, compassionate, and touching. It expresses innocence, love, and kindness, but at the same time, shows cruelty and hatred. It's a masterpiece of literature!

Summary: This is a phenominal book about true racism and prejudice
Review: This book is in my opinion is about the mockingbirds that we never are never considerate too. In this book you experience the true racism there was in the south. Lee does a great job of describing the settings and original characters. But there is one critical mistake the author makes she makes Atticus to be such a good character and not believable. Attius is made out to be the perfect character the flawless one. HE is tooooo perfect. Anyways it was a great book and i recommend it to ages 11 and up. It is a great book.

Summary: A Dose of Humanity
Review: I too was first introduced to Scout by an English teacher and in a way was introduced to myself. I am so greatful for reading To Kill A Mockingbird at such a young age. It was not until I read it again as an adult that I realized how it helped to shape my life. Trying to explain what the book is about is like trying to explain how it feels to be happy or sad or angry. A summary tells you the story. You need to read To Kill A Mockingbird to get the feeling. It helps replace the innocence we lose as we get older. I read it every so often to keep me in check.
