To Kill a Mockingbird

it was all great the shipping was fast the price was just right loved it

I bought from this book after I watched the movie. I haven't finished the book yet,but it is really a great book to read. Strongly recommend!

Harper Lee wrote only one novel. And it is probably one of the best books ever written. It's a beautiful story of the South and one incredible and emotional year, all told through the observant and innocent eyes of a little girl called Scout.

This is a great book on so many levels. On one hand, it's simply about a girl and her life and her adventures, just like any other basic kid's books. But what she truly experiences goes beyond what many kids experience as she sees first-hand the effects of hardship, racism, and poverty, all from her small Southern town.

The themes are strong, but never forced, only eloquently stated when they must be obvious out of necessity. The writing is quaint, charming, and utterly reminiscent of a time gone by.

Harper Lee's masterpiece is touching, harsh, and altogether one of the most beautiful celebrations of humanity ever written.

This is a book which should change your life. Of course it is an outstanding American story; more, it is a study of American character--exceptional and inhuman. You will, if you read carefully, be forced to reckon you are more like a Finch or more like a Ewell. And, after that reckoning, you will different forever.

I'm sorry I read this so late in my life. (I would have accomplished more by following the example of Atticus.) But for the remainder of my days, I pledge allegiance to Atticus Finch. His example is that important, that just, that right.

Require yourself to read it; require those you can influence to read it. About the time this book was published, an important black man said: If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. I don't believe this is overstatement in these troubled times in America. If you don't read "To Kill a Mockingbird" you are part of the problem. And, if you don't end up being--or striving to be--more like Atticus Finch, you are part of the problem.

This book is a classic. It was required reading for my fifteen year old daughter and she loved it.
