To Kill A Mockingbird
This story has always been like a sacred parable for me. The semi-autobiographical by Miss Lee encapsulates just about every nuance of human nature and morality worth describing. No wonder she decided that she needn't write another book. The heroes: Scout, Jem, Boo and Addicus are like shining lights in the midst of a world gone morally dark. The morality is as apt today as it ever was; only the names and faces have changed. Maybe the human story is allowed to endure only through the grace extended to a moral Minority.

I think the author had some good qualities.One was that she is very detailed,but she leaves you to figure out things for yourself.But for the average reader or a young reader this woulud be very boring them.This is a little bit of my opinion about this book.This book strikes me as a mediocre book.since it can be dull sometimes it's hard to keep focus while reading this book. So no I wouldn't recommend this book to ANYONE at all unless they're very matture.so this is my reasoning and basis for my rating
To Kill A Mockingbird
I'm only eight, but as young as I may be I still think this book had those deeper meanings that make the book perfect for advanced readers. I won't tell you much about the book(read it to believe it, or see other reviews) but I will tell you that this book has really changed me, more than you would believe. Harper Lee has done an astonishing job describing the depression through a child's perspective, and the plot is just the plot for not-quite-but-somewhat historic fiction fans. To Kill a Mockingbird has a touch of historical fiction, but not too intense a slap of it. I would reccommend this book to any age group, but mainly above the age of eight, since most of these reviews seem to be by teens who enjoyed the book. Like another reviewer said, most high schoolers in my community had to read To Kill a Mockingbird in their freshman years, so I'd also say that middle schoolers who haven't read this book should read it before they get into high school, so they have a head start.

I think I'm the only person who didn't read this in high school. I don't know why, but I was expecting a boring, plodding story. To the contrary, this is a quick, fun, easy read. Telling the story through the innocent eyes of a young girl perfectly points out the corruption and backwards views in the small southern town without judging it. I also thought it was in some way encouraging to know that Lee wrote this one book, the classic it is, and nothing else.

Everyone knows this story or should. I'll get right to the point. YOU MUST READ "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD"!!! You simply must!
To Kill A Mockingbird
This is probably the best and most poignant story about racism that I've ever read. It's mandatory reading for school kids, and rightly so. One of the best novels of the 20th century. It's a pity Harper Lee only wrote this one novel. Anyway, it's a tale about the sensational trial of a black man who is arrested for raping a white woman, but he's actually innocent of the crime. The whole thing is seen through the eyes of the white defense lawyer's daughter. Very compelling read.David Rehakauthor of "Love and Madness"
