This is really is an amazing story, the whole book is perfectly tied together and I really cfelt like. I was standing right in the middle of the street when scout and jem were attacked :)
I am only thirteen years old and i read the book on my own time, not for school or anything. I read it because it was considered a classic and i ended up really liking it. i agree with what this guy says and it is my favorite book. i like the part when scout says "i never loved to read, until i feared i would lose it.one does not love breathing."
@sotfnepal Ha Ha, Yes, I never script or edit any of my book reviews, so I end up repeating myself a lot. But I like doing the review so it seems like I am right there telling you about the book. I am really glad it helped!
this sucks. i was so exited to read this book in 7th grade because everybody says it was banned from eveywhere and every school but there was basically NOTHING. schools shouldnt make younger students read a book by enticing them with promises of vulgarity. I appreciate it more now though.
I had to read this book for my English GCSE, and absolutely loved it-it's so hard to just place it in a box as a story about racism, because there are so many other little narrative threads, themes and storylines. Plus Atticus beats Mr Darcy as a literary hero any day (and I REALLY love Mr Darcy lol).
mostly about racism against blacks and how different people have diffrent views about how they look at blacks. One of the quotes said in the book was "a half white, half black person has no purpose in life because he cant fit in." You cant really describe the book because the book makes you see different views of how you look at it. Mattering what charecter's view you like the most is what the book is about.
I definitely agree with the "tending not to like books they make you read in highschool" thing. (The only book I actually enjoyed reading in HS was Lord Of The Flies. I kept reading ahead and pretty much breezed all the tests for it.) I had to read this one in HS, too, and didn't particularly care for it, but I saw it in a store some ten years later and read the first page and it immediately captivated me that time. So I ended up buying it and I love it now. Read it 4 or 5 times.
It was a bad decision for me to watch this video since I'm in the last two chapters and now know the ending. I saw it coming, but couldn't bring myself to hit pause. :D
I read this book in high school and I thought it was okay. Now, I teach it in high school (I've read it five times and I'm reading it to my class this week). Part one of the novel is slow, but my kids (and I) really get into part two when the trial of Tom Robinson comes in and Aunt Alexandra tries to teach Scout to become a lady (and Scout gets sassy with her). As Davesghola said, if you read it in high school check it out again. It really is a worth while read.
He was killed when he was trying to escape the prison he was put in. I don't think they even said who did it, the guards I think. It was something that was mentioned to the characters in the book near the end.
Great review. I loved the book in school and have been wanting to read it again. Very interesting points to note, Dill, the neighbour of Scout was based on Truman Capote, lifelong friend of Harper Lee. Also, if you haven't seen the 1962 film with Gregory Peck, it's well worth it - probably his finest hour, playing my favourite character name of all time - Atticus Finch. Also worth a mention is that the film was Robert Duvall's first film acting role as Boo Radley.
omg i had to read this last year in highschool and personally i hated this book. i found the events(if you can even call them that) were extremly boring and dull. How ever i do believe that you have to want to read somthing to really enjoy it so i imagine in a few years time i will go back for a secound read
You have to remember that it was written over 50 years ago, and it was more just trying to make a point than to be entertaining, but I totally understand. I didn't really like the book the first time I read it in high school too. Give it another shot in 5 years.
I read this in I think 7th grade or before that! It was an amazing book! -3
