First off, everyone who says that the trial should have been fleshed out more, SCOUT WAS 8 OR 9! This book is from her pov, and she didn't understand everything enough for it to have been given a bigger part. Now that I've gotten that off…

This book's first chapter was really boring but then got really interesting. Lots of swear words including the n word. Finding out who was boo was the best part. The trial was good. This book has many mature themes and things. It should be…

Not real impressed - found the book kind of boring. Skipped around to the trial and beyond. It got a little better then. If I have to say anything about this book it would be that the book is a great commentary on raising children to think…

I like Sissy Spacek, tho I did put the speed to 1.25. It was kinda slow. Story was all right. I think it'll ger better on subsequent readings. Gregory Peck is a hottie.

Whenever I tell someone I'm reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" the immediate reaction usually seems to be "Gregory Peck" something something... I've never seen the movie and I may hold off on that. In my mind's eye the book would be about a…

I had never read this book before now, although I've seen the movie numerous times. It is beautifully written. The book is so rich with Scout and Jem's personalities and their relationship with each other and Atticus. I earned so much more…

In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird many characters remind us that the power of a quiet attitude is very important and can lead a role such as Atticus into a contributing but controversial role. In many parts of this novel we are humbled…

More. This book is so much more than against racism, it is about personal responsibility, social and cultural expectations, hypocrisy, empathy, etc. This novel is why writers write and books become classics. I highly encourage others to…

Trigger warning: this novel (and parts of the review) mentions sexual assault, as well as racial violence, death, weapons, and blood; please be aware of this before choosing to read the novel. I would like to start by saying that I HIGHLY…
