Summary: A touching portrait
Review: I loved this book, both for it's appeal as a tale of what it was like to be a child and for its portrayal of how ordinary people can be sucked into the abyss of racism.

Summary: Derivative and insubstantial
Review: Those who liked this book should read Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust to see where the plot comes from. This is not an original story nor is it very deep. Atticus Finch is a good character but the story made a better vehicle for Gregory Peck than it does a serious novel. This is one of those books (like Catcher in the Rye) whose enduring popularity has always been a puzzle to me. A simple story, simply told. So what? We don't learn anything from it. And if one wants the real southern experience, stick with Faulkner or Flannery O'Conner - or even Harry Crews. They are deeper, uglier and more true than this perennial trifle.

Summary: The Killing of mockingird
Review: My book is "The killing of Mockingbird" by Harpern Lee. This book is a story of a family withtwo kids one boy and girl. They are brother and sister. They live on a house in a small town. This town is so small so everybody knows everything about ecah other and their family and what is going on in their home. As the Title says the killing of Mockingbird which is a sin, if anybody ever kills a Mockingbird, it considers as a big sin. In this book the father of the kids, kills the Mockingbird by accident and all of them get worry about that. This book talks about the curse they had. It is a nice and intrusting novel to read. This novel will introduce you with so many different kind of people, and it will show u a totally different world and society and culture. This is a great book and I would like to recommend every one to read this book. I am sure that everyone would love to read this book. When I first started to read this book my intrust was keep on increasing every time. It was making me to read more because the story of this book is like a mistry story. You will find yourself kind of exieted to know what is going to happen next.

Summary: Awesome...
Review: Told from a child's point of view, Harper Lee tells of her own childhood in a small town, Maycomb. Despite its inhabitants who claim absolute faith in Christianity, they ostracise and judge others just because of their different lifestyles and behaviour. Arthur (or Boo) Radley is one of those who have suffered. He is deprived of his desperate attemps to communicate with the outside world just because of a petty crime he committed as a juvenile. Other mockingbirds include Dill, Mayella and Tom Robinson (whose court case reveals the humanity, as well as, the ugliness in the town). Hypocrisy, racism and growing up are the important themes emphasised. An awesome read for all ages. One'll love and loathe the various characters. Very heartwarming and painful memories shared...

Summary: What the heck.......
Review: I'm sorry but the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" was, in my opinion, a very boring book. I've noticed, while skimming through the reviews, a lot of people enjoyed this book. Frankly, I don't know how I could. I was bored to death reading it and the only reason I read it was because it was assigned to us in my 10th grade english class. The only interesting part in that book was when they were talking about that trial for Tom Robinson. I was disappointed in this book and it seemed so exciting but it turned out it was a bore.

Summary: To Kill a Mockingbird
Review: "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a brilliant classic. Itportrays the views of Harper Lee, who didn't believe in racism. Bywriting this story, she was taking a stand in her own way. I loved the clarity of the book and how it kept me excited, especially during the case. The title itself is very clever, as is the phrase used in the book by Scout Finch.

Review: I originally read this book back in junior high school and I loved it. I was in vacation awhile ago and was browsing in a bookstore and came across the book. So I picked it up and started to read it. I couldn't put it down until i realized i had to have it in my adult collection.

Summary: doesn't matter in what language you read this book
Review: I was probably 12 years old then I read "To Kill a Mocking Bird" for the first time. I've read it in Russian, not knowing that Harper Lee a female, not knowing the laws and habits of southern population of States. The book came out in 1964, the Cold War time and I think was a great example for propaganda, that Americans are bad and discrimination in America is a normal thing. But for 12 year/old all that was not so obvious. I fell in love with a book and it became my table-book. For my Literature classes I memorized parts and monologs, which was unusual choice of book in Russian school. I brought that old Russian copy with me when my family came to America. And now when I have both Russian and English copies I can compare. I would recommend this classic book to any child or adult.
