'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

I have read this book so many times and have seen the movies more times than I can count. As a young reader, I didn't understand all the social issues that the book presents, but I enjoyed the relationship between Scout and her family.
I think this might be one of my fraviot books.
All-time favorite book.
tis is not about mockingbirds
i have heard about this book. My sister says it was good but i dont know it seems weird to me also uncomfortable i like reading for fun it just seems weird
its great i love how there in eyes not this person that and there names are so unique i mean scout jem ammticus
This book really is a masterpiece. I had to read this for school and I first i thought it was boring, but the story is so amazing and intriguing and I loved it!
This book is full of sympathy, passion, sadness, and happiness. There will never be another book as good as this story. The start is slow but once you reache the middle, you simply cannot put the book down. I would reccomend this book for a slightly older audience because it has some questionable scenes. Other then that, it's a piece of art.
It is a very inspirational book. It's filled with wisdom and idea's, it's amazing. Everything about it has a meaning. It's not about a girl who isn't popular at school. It's not about the faries in the medow. It's about the world, and everything wrong and right with-in it. I recommend that you should ask your parents before reading it, it has a few inaproprate scenes. But, overall, it's more realistic then Vangoh's Monalisa.
