Only my favorite-ist book ever in the history of anything. Changed my life, seriously.

How could you not love Atticus Finch?

roma042604 07-19-2007 09:43 PM

my favorite character was Boo Radley, i thought his character was very endearing and that his true heart showed when he saved Scout and... um... her brother [can't remember the name]

kycoo 07-19-2007 10:54 PM

Her brother's name is Jem. I think it's short for Jeremy or something.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. I'm glad I read it long before I had to read it for one of my literature classes, or I probably would have hated it. =/

Atticus Finch FTW! :D

True. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the greatest books ever published. I learned a lot reading those books. Thought me how great, and how ignorant society can be, even today. Atticus is, without a doubt the best character in the book. Too bad Harper Lee, hasn't written anything after TKM. And TKM, was released over 40 years ago.

Best book ever. Better then Pride and Predjuice, even.

Good book, I've also seen the play version of it, the book's much better. Of course imo books are almost always better than plays.
Even better though is How To Kill a Mockingbird, it has ninjas on sharks if I recall correctly.

theinfestedheretic 07-21-2007 11:04 PM

How To Kill A Mockingbird is the best novel. Period.
But the movie's beginning song for the book is also beautiful.

NoName 07-22-2007 06:46 AM

I'm not that fond of that book, I found it REALLY boring.

BibboTheFirst 07-23-2007 12:09 PM

Yes this book is one the greatest of all time. I actually know Harper Lee through my Granny but I know her very little. My Granny sees her in Winn-Dixie from time to time...

Mockingbird 07-24-2007 03:15 PM

I found it to be a great book on the reality of growing up.

It is one of my favorites of all time and it even inspired my screen name on quite a few forums.

ray3d1228 07-26-2007 05:39 AM

I didn't like the book...it was kind of dull, atticus was too perfect, i feel like he needed a fault besides his imperfect eyes.

Also...i just don't like harper lee (made up quote) "My book is so great no one could write a bok as good, not even me!"

ProfessorJackal 07-26-2007 08:22 PM

Wow I hated that book. That is one of those required reading books for high school that makes you loathe it. Like Heart of Darkness. only not so much.

kitsu3 07-26-2007 09:52 PM

I actually found that book to be one of the required readings I loved rather than hated. It probably helped to know that several schools had tried to ban the book and I wanted to know why. I didn't understand parts of it (symbolism, implications, etc.), but I loved it anyway. And Atticus is the best.

MartaQueenofKittens 10-20-2007 11:02 PM

Agreed. Atticus is so cool.

Ardrick 10-30-2007 11:36 PM

Yeah, "To Kill a Mockingbird" was an amazing book. Personally, I like "Fahrenheit 451" WAY better, since it's my favorite book of all-time. But Atticus Finch is awesome.

goldeye20 11-01-2007 06:38 PM

screw the book being An "american classic". It SUCKED on ice. except for the ham costume. Only... in America.

PhantomFan 11-03-2007 01:11 PM

I actually liked the first part better than the end
The trial just got less interesting to me =/

Egyptianeye 11-04-2007 07:28 PM

really? i liked the whole mysterious feeling from the Radley house, and the Halloween part too.

ChibiNeko 11-06-2007 12:50 AM

We have to read this book in my English class. ._. Seeing it is on here, I guess it must be a good book.

Egyptianeye 11-06-2007 06:25 AM

it takes a lot to get into it (well it did for me...)

PhantomFan 11-06-2007 04:41 PM

yeah but I kinda thought the second part of the book went downhill

Egyptianeye 11-06-2007 04:51 PM

yea, i kno what you mean, it just kinda got boring cuz it was like he was bored with it

PhantomFan 11-06-2007 05:13 PM

true
I also thought that Atticus was too "mary sue" a character, if that even makes sense. Kinda like he was "too perfect" in a way to really exist. Although I don't think he was a hero

Egyptianeye 11-06-2007 05:14 PM

yea! cuz he was always right, always the good one, like he had no actual human qualities, cuz he never did anything wrong!

PhantomFan 11-06-2007 05:23 PM

LOL we are so stalking each others posts!

Last year I had to write an essay about how he was a hero. But I told the teacher that I didn't think he was a hero, but she still forced me to do the damn essay her way (that byotch always hated me)
=/

Egyptianeye 11-06-2007 05:24 PM

but he's NOT a hero....... he litteraly doesn't do jack sh*t. Boo does more than him!

PhantomFan 11-06-2007 05:26 PM

I mean, he could have done so much more to save Tom whats-his-name
He only did what was asked of him

Egyptianeye 11-06-2007 05:29 PM

and hell, it was obvious that Tom was innocent they only hated him cuz he was black (literaly)

PhantomFan 11-06-2007 05:34 PM

Yep
The very definition of racism (>.> used far to often here by xelly and underling nowadays....)
But over all, the book was better before the ending, which just went downhill

Egyptianeye 11-06-2007 07:04 PM

well, having rediscussed it. the MIDDLE was better than the beginning AND end...
