This is one of those books I'd always meant to read but never got around to. Once I'd got over some of the terminology, I found it a beautiful story that will stay with me. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the DVD of the old black and white film with Gregory Peck. Good film. But, as always, the book wins.

Since the age of 9, I have read To Kill a Mockingbird numerous times. Scout, the young daughter of poor lawyer, Atticus Finch, tells of the summer her father defended a black man accused of a crime on a white woman in the Deep South. The case is dangerous and emotional and risky for Atticus and his children. At the same time of the trial, Scout, her brother Jem, and summer friend, Dill, embark on a separate mystery that forces them to confront their fears and sort out their own prejudices. The story goes deeper than I've explained. The best way to appreciate this book is to read it.

Classic book, doesn't need a review. Reading it as part of our book/film club. Read the book, then see the film.

As I read it the Gregory Peck film runs in my mind. Have always liked the novel. One of those situations where the film enhances the reading experience.
