How to read "to kill a mockingbird"
It made me
feel intelligent
 "So much better than the movie...and I LOVE the movie!!!"
How I did it: I read one chapter every night...only 31 chapters. The book goes into so much more detail than the movie did. It makes some things in the movie make more sense. There's also a lot more characters in the book. Now I want to see the movie again. |

How I did it: I was forced to, it was pointless. I was only 12 at the time, and my father said it would teach me some good morals but I didn't understand the book...It all moved to slowly, it only got interesting at the end when things other than walking around happened! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I sat down in a snuggly place and just immersed myself in this beautifully written tale. A very important message put across in the most lovely of ways. Its so easy to fall in love with the characters and hard not to feel like your actually part of the town. Definately one of my favourite reads of all time. Read how I did it…

Never thought a classic would be a page turner, but I’ve already read 22 pages (it’s an Ebook, so that’s 22 A4 pages). It’s good, reading this one seems to be a breeze.

I’m currently reading A Tale of Two Cities, and then it’s on to Great Expectations. And after that I have promised myself I will read a book that might not be in any lists of great fiction, that I am just interested in, for the heck of it. Then, I think I will read To Kill a Mockingbird.
Dickens is wiping me out right now. The plot is beginning to interest me, but it’s taken a lot of perseverance to come this far.
Jadelee is sick of seeing the rain. WHY??!!
I think it was worth it from the standard of english it has. I love Lees style of writing. But the theme of the poor black man doesnt really interest me that much.
Duckie wishes she was rich.
It’s one of the best gifts I’ve ever recieved.

Only worth doing if you choose to read it of your own accord.
I read it for the first time in an English Lit class, and I always find that overanalysing books the way you do in lit classes takes the enjoyment out of them. (Don’t get me wrong, I love English Lit. It’s broadened my knowledge of the written word no end, but it can be rather tedious.)
meijse is in the new year
I read it summer before last, and then during the following school year as part of the curriculum. When I first read it, I felt that it went nowhere until halfway through, but it was SO much better the second time. I could see the big picture of all the events and how they tie together, and I appreciated the little details. Such a wonderful book!
Our family critters are named:
Harper (German Shep.)
Scout (border collie)
Boo (Skipperkie)
Addicus (the resident squirrel in our garage the last 3 years…)
I never had to read this in school, so I just read it for the first time (at 28). I love it. It’s one I will keep on my shelf for always and re-read over and over. In a way I’m glad I was never forced to read it when I was younger…my attachment to it as an adult is so strong.
We had to read this book for English as our novel study. I didn’t really like it then then, but I like it more now. It’s well worth reading.
Waiting to be Brillant is back into it
What a great story full of so many leassons to be learned. It acts as a reminder on how far we have come….. but still today we have prejugdeces. So be nice to people like boo radley, they may just save your life…
