To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee Reviews

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is not the usual sort of book I would read. I am normally into mindless trashy books and this is certainly not one of these, nor does it come across as one. I awas asked to read it whilst studying for my GCSEs at school in English class and I was really pleased I did, otherwise I may have missed out on this ...  Read the complete review

To Kill a Mockingbird is my favourite book of all time. I first read it when I was at school as part of CSE English and became embroiled in the small town with small minds and the thoughts and actions of three children and the way the events played out. I love Atticus who obviously struggles with his position and the fact that he did ...  Read the complete review

Having studied this at the beginning of my GCSE course, I found that this book set the tone for a more interesting and challenging GCSE english literature course than I had originally envisaged. This book has an intersting and gripping storyline, following the lives of siblings Jem and Scout Finch through their childhood years. The book starts ...  Read the complete review

With almost everything in the world, there is one object or brand in particular that is synonymous with the genre. When someone mentions sunglasses, you instantly think Ray Ban Aviators. Should the topic of fast cars come up, most people will be powerless to stop the famous prancing horse of Ferrari popping into their mind. It's an iPod, not an ...  Read the complete review

I must have read this book a zillion times and every time I get to learn a new lesson from it. It's not a very complicated book yet it's a multifaceted one. It exemplifies an array of sentiments while dealing with an immensely serious subject of racial inequality. But the best part is the tenderness and hilarity with which the author writes while ...  Read the complete review

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of those books that you resent getting exposure to in school - you wish you had somehow managed to pick it up and read it yourself. I have lots of friends who are as passionate as books as I am who hate this piece of work, based on the fact they were "forced to read it in school." My God, I try to tell them ...  Read the complete review

I ponder the status of "To Kill a Mockingbird" as a classic sometimes, and I struggle with the idea. I suppose it's because I relate the word 'classic' to authors of an entirely different period. I realise now, though, that this is an entirely wrong view to take on things; To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic. It's simply a modern ...  Read the complete review

Whilst casually flipping through some so-and-so Sunday newspaper magazine something caught my eager eye. It was a Top Ten of books we should all read before we're six feet under. And the number one book was none other than Harper Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. I was compelled to read it and am now, (about half a year later) proud to say that I ...  Read the complete review

Hmm... Let's see, what elements are crucial in creating a good book? The answer to this question may be different to some people, but for me? I look for an intriguing plot, well-developed characters, nice writing style, and a theme of some sort. Sounds like a good enough answer, right? Anyway, what I'm here to say is that To Kill a ...  Read the complete review

Harpers Lee's 'To Kill A Mocking Bird' was forced upon me as a GCSE text after reading the terrible 'Kes' (my opinion which conflicts with many is that this book is a form of child cruelty) I expected to hate this book as much if not more than I hated 'Kes'. At the age of fourteen I was reasonable well read and had very ...  Read the complete review
