Book Reviews of To Kill a Mockingbird
Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I read this book was in 7th grade and I loved it. Now, a first year college student, I am reading it again. The story is so real, involving family and problems within. It talks about relationships between siblings and friends. But most of all, it talks about stuff that has happend in history. The way that blacks were treated and how their words didn't matter in a court room. Not only was the book excellent but the movie was great. With the movie you can see and feel the emotions that the characters where going through. I recomend that everyone should read this book at least once in their life. Also I believe that Middle and High School teachers should continue having this book as part of their studies.Book Review: A Classic

Summary: 4 Stars
As a teenager, I have read many classics. 'To Kill A Mockingbird' has to be one of my favorites. This book has many twists, however I found a few parts to be quite boring. I went through some of the book being anxious for it to be over, watching page by page go by thinking 'When is this going to get interesting? When is this going to end?' but once I hit the last 4 chapters, they flew by. The surprise ending was amazing, and at the end, I found myself thinking 'No, it can't be over yet!'. Although few parts didn't appeal much to me, overall I loved this book.Book Review: A Classic For All To Read
Summary: 5 Stars
There are few books that comes along that will make you sit down and examine the way you look and fell about people in society, and this is one of them. In this book, Harper Lee tells the story of a society which is filled with rascism and sterotypes. Atticus Finch, a local lawyer, is not like other people in the town and is determined to stand up for what he belives is right. Even if this means putting his family, career, and even his life in danger. This book will also take you back to your childhood and the way that most children look at the world. This book should be required to read because it helps to break down sterotypes in the world. This book has been critized for showing too much racism but unfortunately people get upset when authors show the world its own shame.Book Review: A Classic From Day One

To Kill A Mockingbird: fiction
By Harper Lee
Harper & Row
J.B. Lippencott Co.
Setting: 1930's Maycomb, Alabama
The theme of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is treating people fairly. Atticus Finch is assigned to defend Tom Robinson, a Negro accused of raping a white girl, much to the community's disgust on both issues. This is a memorable novel that teaches that all men should be treated equally. This book is trying to show how unjust humans can be, and we ourselves are by no means excluded. It also proves that most people are actually good, underneath it all. This is a mesmerizing and unforgettable story that all people should have the privelege of reading.
