Absolutely fascinating. Could not put it down.

I know that a generation of people have read "To Kill a Mockingbird" as an assignment in school. I was not one of them. Having enjoyed the movie several times, I was familiar with the plot, but I had seen lists of books that "you simply must read before you die" and this one was at or near the...

A MAN OF PRINCIPLE

Harper Lee's 1960 classic novel about life and racial prejudice in a small Mississippi town in the mid-Thirties proves vibrantly human and poignantly valid 50 years later. Narrated by 6-8 year old Jean Louise Finch--who scorns the idea of becoming a lady--the story depicts a child's gradual...

Mockingbird can't be mocked

This is a book I just never read while growing up, and when my 15-year old son began reading it in school, his interest in it pulled me in. I checked it out of our local library but had to return it before finishing. That led me to do an Amazon search. Admittedly, I was disappointed I wasn't...

Tension, Prejudices, and Inequities

What a beautiful book to read. I believe this is the only book Harper Lee wrote and what a story she had to tell.I knew very little about the storyline and anticipated racial tension and courtroom drama to be ever present. While racial inequities was "an" underlying theme I found the story much...

It wasn't as I expected

I'll just sart off that I had to read this book for my Sophmore year, and to me, it just didn't fit. I can't say that I hated the book, for I didn't mind some equally impressive parts, such as the court scene, and bits and parts of the ending. But I'll just say overall it just bored me. People...

A bit sluggish for me

I thought this book was fairly dull reading, notwithstanding its "classic" status. Certainly it enunciates every desirable goody-goody piety - both those common to all decent people, and those especially desirable among late 20th century American liberals (Low Class Whites Bad, Low Class Blacks...

The characters are the best part

I love to kill a mockingbird and I recommend for everyone to read it. This book has amazing characters that are easy to relate to and always keep you on their side. Harper Lee does an exceptional job at using the things that her character says and does to show what kind of a person they are. If...

The enduring mockingbird

This book is delicately contrived and each character and scene is portrayed beautifully. A wonderful book - touching, memorable and utterly enduring; a treasure for every reader of every age over 10.
