To Kill a Mockingbird

Summary: A book worth reading
Review: This is really an awesome book. We are currently reading it in my 9th grade english class, and I must say, To Kill A MockingBird is the best book I ever had to read for school. Usually teachers assign stupid books that we will never pick up again, so I was really surprised that this book turned out to be so good. What's ironic is that I've had this book for quite a while now but never got around to reading it. I'm so glad I did. And somehow I can relate to Scout. I just wish I had a brother like Jem. Anyway, the first chapter of the book was boring, but the rest is wonderful. Unlike most people, who prefer action books, I like books that tell more about the characters lives and family and everything, and this is one of the few books that could provide this for me. Read it now--you won't be able to put it down!

Summary: I did not like the book
Review: The book was not good the only reason I read it was because in my ninth grade english class we had to read twenty-five pages a night many people like it but I dont see why.

Summary: This is THE book that I read at least once a year.
Review: When my husband and I moved 3 years ago, we moved over two tons of books (according to the moving company). Of all of these, Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" is the one that I would save if the house was on fire. This is THE book that reminds me why books are written--not merely to tell an entertaining story, but to encourage the reader to see the world through the eyes of someone else. The story is probably the best teacher of the ugliness of racisim--in a very quiet and yet powerful way. The real power of the story for me, however, is the bond that I feel with Scout each time I read the book. Like Scout, I too equate reading and breathing, and believe that the school system should have held more than several years of boredom. I cannot praise this book enough. If there was an Atticus Finch/Boo Radley fan club, I would hope to be the president (or at least the club historian.) Please read this book.

Summary: WOW!
Review: What can I say? This is one of my favorite books of all time. I read it first in 4th grade, and it was confusing, but good. I still read it today and love it more than ever. Intense at parts, with excellent courtroom scenes, it is a book you never want to end. You come to love Scout, Jem, Atticus and Cal. If you are looking for a wonderful book to read, read this.

Summary: The BEST written
Review: I am a 7th grade student and I read this book in 5th grade. It hit me with the full force and impact a good book has on you. This is my all time favorite book! I have it on tape and listen it every night. I have listened to it so much that I can now finish the characters sentences! The book is written in a Southern Alabama town through the eyes of an eight year old child who is unable to understand the true meaning of what is happening but gives you (the reader) the whole story. This is a book that touches your soul. I read it in one day and was at the time unable to comprehend the full meaning, but even then as I put the book down, I knew it was one of the best books I had ever read. Now at age 12 and a great deal more able to understand the book I know that my instinct at 10 was corect and this is by far one of the best books I have ever read and will ever read. I am only too sorry Harper Lee has not written more novels.

Summary: great story
Review: this book was intensly boring in the begining, but as the end came, i desired more pages to keep the story going. Harper Lee did a great job defining each character individualy, and bringing you closer to scout and her pionts of views.

Summary: A story about being sane in an insane world
Review: This charming story is told through the eyes of a litttle girl in Alabama during the depression. While the core plot revolves around the trial of black man accused of assaulting a white woman, there are actually a host of themes: prejudice, isolation, fear, class struggle, education and race. The hero of the book is Atticus, a kind of Ward Cleaver of the South. Atticus is the soft-spoken lawyer, the father of the narrator, who maintains his composure while others are giving in to irrational impulses like revenge or murder. His self-control and ability to empathize with others are the shining lights of this book. In an age when boorish self-expression is the dominant cultural model, the gentle compassion and wisdom of Atticus Finch remind us of another way.

Summary: This is the best and most intriguing book I've ever read.
Review: To Kill A Mockingbird deals with large world issues while just talking about a little girl in Maycomb. I as a sixth grader couldn't put it down, and I entend to read it again when I'm older, because I think I will get something different out of it. This book made me cry because of our wourlds unfairness, and laugh simply because Scout and Jem were cute and lovable. I recomend this to anyone and everyone who enjoys fiction.
