Summary: A Great Book that points out injustices
Review: I read this book in the 6th grade and I loved it. I am now in the 8th. This book pointed out the problems that occur when you have a prejudice against someone or a group of people. I have lived in Alabama all of my life, and it is nothing like that in case you were wondering. While most kids are forced to read this book, I chose this book. It opened up my eyes to the past. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: ONCE YOU READ THIS, YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT
Review: Harper Lee brings the story of a 6 year old girl, whose innocence is lost in that summer of racial prejudice, to life. It is remarkable how Lee can so skillfully portray Scout's childlike innocence with such vivid realism. Although the subject may be offensive to some readers, a book cannot be expected to be squeaky clean. Almost every great piece of literature is offensive and questionable, and that is how it becomes as great as it is. I love this book!! And you will too!!

Summary: Plain and simple truth
Review: My copy has pages falling out of almost every chapter. It has been read and loved as well as a childhood teddy bear, the only difference being that it will never stop being relevant. 'Mockingbird' should be fed to babies through their bottles, or to the rest of us intravenously. There are no other words for such as this.

Summary: My ALL TIME favorite!!!
Review: This book is awesome! You get to personally know the characters in it, and it imparts so much truth in the story through the eyes of children (which makes hard topics such as prejudice easier to "digest") It shows how prejudice can destroy families, and how friendship can save them.

Rating:
Summary: It dealt with all the issue's that plague mankind as a whole
Review: I personally liked it. I agree with her profound statements of society's grave injustices and social inequality. It wasn't just about blacks or whites. It was people as a whole. Girls boys all people alike in their own special ways. This book will last a lifetime because of its universal message and appeal.

Summary: Extremely boring!
Review: This was an extremely boring book (contrary to most opinions) that had an extremely slow start.

Summary: I felt as though I was there,it was so real.
Review: My favourite feel good book of all time.It's warm,caring,frightening,saddening,revealing and most of all very real.I felt as though I was living in the south.I could feel the heat in summer and remember those first days at school when your world changes so drastically.Scout's journey shows what it was like to live in a time when toys and fancy cars didn't matter,it was the family you loved and the neighbours who cared and the friends you made really mattered.To kill a Mockingbird depicts a world which also could be very cruel to those that strayed from the "norm". I could read it again and again and again.

Summary: Great Book!!!
Review: I thought this was a great story. I read it in my junior English class. I loved how caring Atticus was and how he tried to teach his children right. I loved the story, it taught the innocence of children and how caring we are until the outside world corrupts us; hatred is learned, you aren't born with it. I really liked this book.

Summary: The book that got me reading
Review: I was assigned this book to read in the 9th grade. Opening it for the first time, and seeing the small print, as well as the lack of pictures (!), my heart sank. But I read. By the time I got to the third page, I was hooked. This book changed my life fundamentally; it turned me into a reader. Quite an accomplishment, that.
