Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Recently, I had the opportunity to read this great book. "To Kill A Mockingbird" is a must read. The characters are deep and very human. Harper Lee is a wonderful author. She makes the characters come to life. Even though I'm still in high school, I could really feel what they were feeling through her narration. Everyone go get this one!

Summary: my favorite book of all time
Review: I first read this book at age 12. In high school I read it two more times, for class assignments, and have read it again since then. my copy is worn out, so I am buying a hardcover copy, and am sure it will get plenty of use. This is a classic story, and one of the best books ever(my favorite), and i will never get tired of reading it.

Summary: It is a fairly good read, but what is all the buzz for?
Review: Is this really considered a classic? Though issue of race and prejudice is certainly of great importance, I don't see as though its been evoked in this book in some sort of revolutionary way. Tom Robinson's story is painful to hear, and the depth to which Maycomb is developed by the author is impressive, but this book is by no means a classic. The author's style is of no great note, and the plot, while carrying the reader through the duration of the book, is not of a "classic", compelling nature. All in all, a solid book.

Summary: A Good book to curl up with at night
Review: "To Kill a Mockingbird" was one of the best I've read. At first, looking at the cover when it was assigened at school, I thought it would be another boring book for English class. As the days went on, we were assigned cirtain chapters to read each night. i found myself reading ahead without even noticing. I felt like I was in the court room with Scout and jem.This heartwarming tale tells the story of Scout and Jem growing up in a small Alabama town called Maycomb. While their fater, Atticus, is appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accued of the rape of a white woman, the family is coulght up with the racism of the town. The children also make an new friend next dorr at the Radley household. This somewhat strage friendship turns out to be a life saver. I think that everyone should read this book because it show many characteristics of human nature, some that are horribly overlooked by society

Summary: A Classic For A Reason
Review: This book did not get the #1 book of all time from luck of the draw, the book deals with many issues that were very important in the time and has a plot that seems ordinary but you dont realize how much you loved the book until you put it down, and find yourself wanting to run back to it to find out what happens next, I LOVED THIS BOOK

Summary: One of the Best
Review: I first read this book in high school in the '60s. I paid $.60 for it - best money I ever spent! I "learned" a lot about being a kid and a parent from this book. All the characters seem "true" to me. They "melt" in the heat and are fascinated by snow. They get lost in the dark and have fights in the schoolyard. They have interesting neighbors. One of my top ten!

Summary: Absolutely breathtaking
Review: I am in the process of reading this book in 10th grade Honors English. At first, I thought it would be like most books we're expected to read in high school...boring, old tomes, etc. But I got so into the book, and I absolutely fell in love with it during the first chapter. It is a classic novel that takes us through four years when Jem and Scout, the main characters and the children in the book go from Innocence to Experience. They grow up in the book, and I think that everybody should read it. I'm still reading it in school, and watching the movie, and I love it so much, now I'm here, buying it. So, read this book. It's wonderful.

Summary: A Classic
Review: The first time I read this book was in 7th grade and I loved it. Now, a first year college student, I am reading it again. The story is so real, involving family and problems within. It talks about relationships between siblings and friends. But most of all, it talks about stuff that has happend in history. The way that blacks were treated and how their words didn't matter in a court room. Not only was the book excellent but the movie was great. With the movie you can see and feel the emotions that the characters where going through. I recomend that everyone should read this book at least once in their life. Also I believe that Middle and High School teachers should continue having this book as part of their studies.

Summary: required reading
Review: There's really not much to say. This book is a classic. I've recently started buying books that I know I'll read over and over until I'm dead. This is one of those books. I just read it for the first time and it will now live on my bookshelf with Catch-22, Skinny Legs and All, Updike's Rabbit series, and a handful of others.

Summary: The Interesting Book
Review: "To Kill A Mockingbird is an excellent book I just finished and think that this novel is the greatest one I have ever read in my life. It is interesting the way the children grow up in this part of the United States of America. My favorite character are Scout and Atticus because they are very interesting" Kulsoom
