Timeless November 17, 2008
This is my favourite novel of all time. I have read it so many times, I know it off by heart and also have the film.
The character of Scout is wise beyond her years and exposes the cruel, harsh, but contrastingly and most importantly, compassionate tendancies of the 1930s adult world. She reveals to us the true mockingbird (Tom Robinson) of the story and how someone that does nothing but selfless and honest work can be treated in such a way by others that it elicits sympathy from any third party- e.g us as readers. The setting is also vividly described- you can imagine yourself sitting on the dusty porch with Atticus, watching the sun set and see Jem and Scout with Dill. The innocence of Scout, in its totality, is what allows the reader to follow the story to the very end and appreciate it as many generations before have done so.
There are possibly very few who would regret reading this novel. It is timeless and engrossing.
A little slow, but fantastic!! October 30, 2008
When I first picked up this novel, hearing that it was a classic, i thought it would too dreary for me as I was used to the quickly paced modern fiction. I was very wrong.
Even though the story is slow, you come to realise just how drenched the town is in prejudice. Harper Lee gets across the themes and characters very well.
A great read. Deserved to be called a classic.
To kill a mockingbird? October 14, 2008
An absolute 'MUST READ' - a real challenge to your consciousness and your thoughts about right and wrong - what a characterful and honest book - just couldn't put it down.
tolerance September 15, 2008
It's been ages since I've read this book so I'm not going to say much but this book should be read. Teachers have started not to study this book in schools because it has the word nigger in it (well in this country they have started to stop). It's more important now to read it them ever, this book promotes tolerance rather than racism. It's not the quickest book to read but it's a great book, I'm never going to give this book away.
One of the best and moving books ever written August 8, 2008

I first read this book as a compulsory text for school and since then have read it countless number of times. It is such a beautiful story that is relevant to every society. You must take your time reading it and not rush it because there are so many hidden depths and meanings. "Shoot all the bluejays you want but remember it is a sin to kill a mockingbird". Everyone must read this book, it's beautiful.
