Summary: Unbelievably Beautiful !
Review: I'm 14 years old and I thought this book was beautiful. I wasn't forced to read this book for school--it was choice, and one of the best I've made. My only hope is that if you read it, you can identify the hidden messages laced throughout the book AND appreciate them. To me, it was a book of innocence vs. corruption. I identified w/feelings expressed throughout it and in the end had acquired the memory of my favorite written word characters ever! READ THIS BOOK and think.

Summary: Pulitzer-well deserved!!!!
Review: Harper Lee has captured the essence of the times. While reading this book, you feel as though you are actually friends with Jem and Scout. The characterizations are first-rate. I read this book for school years ago, and recently picked it off my bookshelf when I was in the mood to read a "Good Book", as opposed to "Pulp Fiction". The reading was better the second time, after not having read it for a long while. I only wish that Miss Lee had written more books-she's a major talent, not ever to be forgotten.

Summary: I give it a million
Review: This is by far one of the greatest boks ever written. It teaches us so much. It teaches us that the only way to ever really understand someone, you must get into their shoes and walk around in them. It teaches us that a child can sometimes know more than the adults ever could. It teaches us that prejudice and racism will always be the downfall of our society, if we let it. And it teaches us that, hey, entailments are bad.

Summary: This isn't really my type of book.
Review: This book was not all that good. I really don't like it all that much. To me it was boaring. But to you it might have been good.

Review: Since I'm a 9th grader and had to read this book at school, I disliked it. I thought it was very boring and time consuming. I guess it's because I'm not old enough to appreciate the real quality and meaning of the book. Hence, I wouldn't recommend teens reading the book because there's barely any actions and the climax is basically at the last few chapters.

Summary: BITTERSWEET MEMORIES
Review: I was born the year this book was published (1960), in Monroeville, Alabama - Harper Lee's hometown, and the model for the fictional town of Maycomb - so this book has been a part of my life since the beginning. I have always been proud of my Southern heritage and I have Miss Lee to thank for that. When I was a kid, a special friend and I would go down to the courthouse and pretend we were Jem and Scout - the balcony is there and the jail's across the street - and there was an big, old abandoned house that we would say was the Radley place. Occasionally, we would see Miss Lee at her daddy's store - but were always too much in awe of her to venture anything more than "hey!". She's still there part of the year - though she's not seen much anymore. If I could speak with her, I'd thank her for writing the book which redeemed the South, which I love, to the world.
