Summary: Read it at twelve.
Review: I have reread it several times since. It gave me the courage to fight against the injustices I saw happening around me and try to make my world a better and more loving place just like Scout. I will try to get my daughter her own copy when she is old enough to read. Mine is falling apart.

Summary: Best Seller
Review: To Kill A Mockingbird is a thought provoking book. Through the eyes of a child, they could see the injustice of a black man being convicted for a crime he has not commited, but because of the colour of his skin he is GUILTY.

Summary: GOOD
Review: We had to read this at school and I thought it was going to be dumb. It turned out to be a great novel that was very realistic!Read it!
Rating:
Summary: We should not make students to read a book like this!
Review: We should spend time on doing something productive when we are young, and read those life thinkings when we are old enough to. So, I don't think that we should force all students to read this book, it should only be an option. But, it still a good book.

Summary: I'm in love
Review: I loved this book so much, all of my thoughts and conversations were related to this book for days after reading it. I felt as though I knew the characters, had bonded with them. This book is so warm, and Scout just stole my heart.
Rating: 
Summary: Innocence and Injustices
Review: I believe that the book was excellent. The characters were detailed and very realistic. Scout, the main character, presents the novel as an adult looking back, which helps the reader see exactly what a child would see, and learn exactly what a child would learn. Through the book, many injustices are seen, and it really helps you to understand why it is so important to "walk in other people's shoes". Over all, the book was excellent, very exciting, and entertaining!

Summary: Undisputable Genious
Review: This book is undoubtadly the best book of all time. I have read it several times. Though many people tend to think it doesn't mean any more than the actual words written on the pages, it does. Symbolism is key in this book, and people should really take the time to sit down and read it. Everyone should read this book.

Summary: You can relate
Review: This book "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a very touching story. It makes you realize the ignorance and the feelings of others. By reading this book, you can feel the characters living in you. You can understand what they are feeling, because everyone has had their incounter with prejudice at one time or another. Everyone reacts to prejudice in different ways, and you can see the many ways in this book. Some people are afraid of the thoughts other people will give them, others are willing to fight againts the unkind words that they have heard. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a great book. It is a story that will stay with you for all time.

Summary: This Book Deserves 6 *!
Review: This classic should be made required reading for every person in every culture and in every country. If only everyone would read it, and truly understand, identify with and 'learn' from the story and the message found within its pages, I believe the world would be a happier and peaceful place to live in for all. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a 'rich' and compelling story set in 1930s Alabama. It's a story about the purity and innocence of children, about justice (or the lack of it), racism, hypocrisy, human compassion, trust and love (all issues we can relate to) told from the experiences and perspectives of a small child (Scout). The writing is wonderfully beautiful and charming. You'll fall in love with the depth of inner beauty and innocence found in the 2 children (Jem, and especially his sister, Scout/Jean Louis). You'll find yourself rooting passionately for their father (Atticus Finch) to win his case when he chooses to defend a black man on trial for life, despite much social pressure on Finch to give up the case and veiled threats against him and his family. Watch for the part where Finch cross-examines the "victim" (a white girl who accuses the black man of rape) and during his closing speech. Both are excellent courtroom drama (the best I've come across) and they also reveal a lot of the (ugly) truth behind the case. Atticus Finch's sense of justice, perseverence and fighting spirit (the way he stood his ground) are most inspiring and touching. Based on what he believes in, he knows he must "do the right thing", all the more since he has 2 young children who look up to him for guidance on the difference between right and wrong. I also loved reading the precious scenes involving Atticus and his children - Atticus is really a "beautiful" person and a perfect role-model of a dad - at once loving and understanding and patience and fair. And what about the mysterious recluse, Arthur "Boo" Radley who hasn't left his house in years and has become some sort of a terrifying yet intriguing "legend" among the neighbourhood children? Is he really the madman or evil spirit that the children believe him to be? This book (and another winner, "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt) should rank highly in everyone's list of must-reads. What a true gem! Read it and be charmed.
