The book is a excellent telling of that period of time in the southern part of America. Why the people in the 21st century don't understand that language used in the book is there because that was how they spoke during that time. Schools that ban book's that are important and should be read just for some ractical words are denying students their rights to experience the knowledge that can only be found in these books. Please continue to read these great books through your library's or buying them online. A excellent book.

This book can be challenging to get through - mainly because of confusing point of view at times, lots of history/cultural references readers are expected to already know. Not sure how likable any of the characters are. Great vocabulary words for high school students to learn.

I love this book! Harper Lee had such a way with the English language. Her words transport you to a certain time and place in the South that I remember very well. Her characters are familiar and bring to mind friends and family lost in memory.

I have not read this particular book; I bought it as a gift for Christmas for my grandson to start his own personal library. Read the story years and years back.

Everything I have ever needed to know about moral values, decency, and human nature in general I have learned through the classic book To Kill a Mockingbird by perfectionist author Harper Lee. These are the things that I have learned: Children watch their parents as role models more than may be apparent; kids may disobey their parents a lot, but still generally have the same outlook on life as their parents do; if a child is brought up by prejudiced parents then they are likely to have prejudice towards a group of people as well. Adult figures are the result of the environment they grew up in. In a field of weeds and vines there will always be something that stands out from the overgrowth, be it a flower, a mockingbird, or a kind lawyer. True courage is not a man with a gun in his hand, it’s when you know you will lose before you begin, but you see it through to the end no matter what. There are two big events in your life, birth and death, you can’t invite people to your birth, but -if you can- you should invite the ones you love and respect to your death. It is one of the most respectful things you can do for them. There are people who were put into this world to be the good everyday heroes that society needs – you should try to be one of them. The world would be a better place if everyone was not so wrapped up in their own little worlds and would put forth more effort to help the ones who live and act around them in ways both big and small in order to promote love, kindness, prosperity, and ultimately happiness.Read full review
