i really like this book. i have barely begun it but i like it. who else likes it? definitley a well written book.

This is my favorite book I've ever read for school... It's just so great on so many levels. I love seeing everything through Scout's eyes.

Yah read it for school... Its very good!

yah some fo the same Ideas...

not to get to sidetracked...

I love dill (thats his name right) hes funny! and I can kinda connect withhim!

Harper Lee based Scout's father on her own father.It's also one of the top films of all time starring Gregory Peck.

We watched the movie in class, and it looked like it was good for it's time, but it has nothing on the book. The way Harper Lee writes with that kind of ironic innocence is just wonderful. I ended up liking the book so much that I got a copy from our school library when they were giving away old books.

The core theme of the books is very important, but sadly I found the book very boring and I couldn't identify with the characters at all. It didn't help that a good part of it took place in a court.

Shameless plug: How To Kill a Mockingbird

It's one book I haven't read.I did read Catcher In The Rye once and was thoroughly bored.

It was so funny when it snowed! Scout thought the world was ending!

TKAM is set in Georgia correct?

It is set in Alabama, actually.

I had to read the book last year for school. I think my favorite part had nothing or not much to do with the plot development: I loved how the kids would play out these books every day and have all of these adventures based on rules, etc. 'coz it reminded me of when I was a kid(athough I still am).

Of all the 'classics' we've had to read in class, I did actually enjoy some of this, namely for the humour and irony (like when Scout got in trouble for writing cursive in class XD ).

Well I knew it was somewhere in the South.
btw:I wonder if that's where they got the idea to give Alexis' brother the name
Atticus in the English version of Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

I really liked this book. :] I didn't have to read it for school, I read it on my own time and I enjoyed it.

I'm reading it in my own spare time. I'm almost finished with it. They are having the Thanksgiving pagent in the book now. ^^

Poor Tom Robinson.

I finished the book! I am going to watch the movie again! What a great book.

<<It's one book I haven't read.I did read Catcher In The Rye once and was thoroughly bored.>>
(slaughters you for dissing Catcher In The Rye)

Yaaaay To Kill A Mockingbird. Beautiful development, everything... I read it and then had to read it again for school, but that's okay. I saw the movie just recently and was slightly disappointed by the actor they had for Boo. Just...not Boo. Not frail enough, y'know?

[spoiler=the To Kill A Mockingbird movie]Anyone else notice the mega time-warp factor happening in the movie? Boo sews and folds Jem's pants in about five minutes and Tom Robinson is shot immediately after the trial. How was he even at the jail that fast? Not to mention the entire episode happening in the space of about one summer. Pssht. XD[/spoiler]

Hmm, I just bought that book not long ago. I loved the movie and even named my chihuahua after Scout the little girl. I have other books on my list right now to read so I will read it after them. I am very excited about reading it.

*BURNING HATRED FOR THIS BOOK* This was like one of the few non-Shakespeare books that I actually READ for school (I use cliffnotes and clever... uh... ***What's a word other than cheating?***...tactics). I don't appreciate being forced to read stuff off a list unless I want to, so I exercise my right of silent protest. Two Shakespeare plays were on my reading list last year so I read those and enjoyed them. Whatever possessed me to read To Kill a Mockingbird I'll never know. All I know is:

1.) I hate southern hillbillies (no offense meant to anyone in the south of course. :p )

2.) I hate hillbilly slang. A book written in bumpkin drowl is utterly unbearable.

3.) I hate stupid kids and I hate reading about their daily pointless lives.

4.) I...strongly dislike (there are few exceptions)... cliche plots about racism in the south. They're so over-used...

Other than that, WONDERFUL BOOK! Almost as fun as having teeth pulled. Yet another reason why I will continue to sparknote my book reports from now on...

one of my favourites since grade school!

It was pretty good...I liked it waaayyyyyy better then Catcher in the Rye at any rate. It was pretty cute and fun as far as reading for school goes!

when i first read this book, i thought it was pretty boring, very slow-paced, and just not the type of book that i would like to read. however, since it was a requirement at my school, i had to read it. it turns out that i liked it more than i thought i would. i don't LIKE it in particular but it's not one of my most hated books anymore...

I, like so many others, had to read this for school. At first, I really didn't like it, but about halfway through the book I got hooked. I finished the rest of the book in 2 sittings, it would have been one, but I had to eat lunch. I liked how they were so interested in the stories they read.

This book was required reading for me two years in a row... but I still really like it. It was the least painful reading for freshman English and when I read it in my sophmore year I actaully ENJOYED it. I think I'd read it again, it really grasps the joys and pains of childhood, and touches on some deeper, thought provoking issues.

2.) I hate hillbilly slang.

Really? I know this sounds dorky, but I love it! Something about it is almost beautiful to me. I think that's part of what I like about this TKM.

I think a simple, "I didn't like this book" would suffice. The statements you presented are offensive, whether you mean it or not. Maybe next time you could use more tact.

And using Spark Notes? For shame...

Never read the book never seen the movie.

You'll be doing yourself a favor if you keep it that way.
