I’ve read this book several times and love it more each time. The life lessons in this book are relevant today. It was a joy to see Scout’s interaction with her family, friends, and other characters. This book inspires people to fight for what is just, even when the odds are against you.

To everyone reviewing this book 5/5 thinking they are reviewing Harper Lee's actual book... This is a READING GUIDE to her book. You are here reviewing the READING GUIDE. Ahhhhh... Now that I'm done ranting, this guide has done much good for my research and I thank Harold Bloom for it.
Is it possible that everybody who wrote a review for this book thinks they are reviewing Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird?We can all agree that Harold Bloom has enriched the world of English literature with his criticism, anthologies and his consummate influence. However, even Dr. Bloom would agree that the reviews of this book are stealing Ms. Lee's thunder. Dr. Bloom, you are still a literary Titan. And thank you especially for your prolific Shakespearean criticism, which has helped me muddl...
A classic must read

I wish I could give it 10 stars! I appreciated it much more this time than I did years ago and it seems more relevant now than ever before. When a man of great dignity and intelligence methodically and deliberately attempts to right wrongs, those who cannot tolerate the truth, have to try to diminish him.
This is one of my favorite all-time books and I just had the privilege to re-read it again. It is so poignant and beautifully written. I love all of the characters...especially Atticus. He has a calm about him while dealing with circumstances that demand both intellect and a strong sense of right. Wish I could parent more like him! I love the insights of Scout, who though a child, has perspective that is well beyond child-like. I plan on making this a read aloud to my children when they get a bi...
Every time I re-read this book I get something new out of it. TKMB is a timeless classic that should be read by everyone.
A real page turner. Great read.
I read this as a child over and over again. I really loved it. I was 10 or 11 the first time I read it. I didn't know it was a social commentary on race at the time I read it, I just loved the kids and really identified with them. I read it again years later as an adult and was blown away again but he subtext that I did not consciously pick up on as a child.I definitely recommend it to everyone.
still one of the best around
Best book ive ever read! I sure hope this is still required reading! Everyone should have to read this. It waa written for times such as these
A book I can read again and again and each time, walk away with something new.

Read this book in high school. The unfortunate thing is I didn't know how 'true to life's this story was until decades after (not American). It captured the essence of the issues of that time and the change they wanted to make as many blacks were not given the privilege of the justice system but given over to angry mobs to be hung.
I adore this book, plain and simple.The book transports you back to small town America in the 1930s so beautifully that, you can really feel the time and place seen through 10 year old Scout's eyes. Her hero worship of her father, the admirable Atticus Finch and his sense of what is right is palpable as is her inability to comprehend why the adult world functions as it does.Every time I read this book, I never fail to cry when Atticus says "Thank you for my children, Arthur."For this reason, I w...
I love this book! I learned so much form it. Yeah, it was an assingment for a class but i still liked it! I learned not to be racist and many other stuff, u should really read it!
Fantastic book
I recently re-read this novel and enjoyed it even more. I think we sometimes remember a story based on a film, and miss that there is so much more in the novel than just what is going on during the trial in the courtroom. Granted, those events are the climax of the story, and also the conflicting image of this sleepy Southern town and it's inhabitants. But my enjoyment of my last reading centered around the early descriptions of the town, it's people, the children's events, adventures and freedo...
