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

How could you not love Atticus Finch?

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]

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.

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

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

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...

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.

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!"

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.

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.

Agreed. Atticus is so cool.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)
=/

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

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

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

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

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

who the fck would read this crap
you're all geeks

then don't post here dumbass

alot of people read this book, its a classic and its quite obvious you've not read it because it is definitely not crap, and your an asshole and i would rather be a geek than that

wow if you took time to read my post you must bea geek or something
seroiusly this book has a movie in black and white
god dammit get with the times u wankers

Best book ever.

So, it's in Black and white. It's too awesome for color.

I had to read this for my GCSE english and I've got the actual GCSE on Tuesday. Fun times. Atticus' faults were that it was tha he was modest but VERY firm minded in his views. This can be both a blessing and a curse like when he doesn't believe his son killed ******** (dont want to spoil it). Atticus I personally felt had things to hide taht maybe he did not want his kids to learn, like the racism. Unusual as they are the son af a lawyer and yet they seem shocked at the pure amount of racsim in the town. This might be his flaw, that he si an overprotective parent.

Well he is a single parent. But he was also the only one brave enough to take the case even though he knew there was going to be a guaranteed guilty verdict, despite the evidence! Maybe that is what he wanted to show his kids, the pure racism that there is in the town, and to hopefully not, be like that.

*sigh* There was so much hidden question or morals in that book. I want to read it again.

I probably would have liked the book if the english teacher hadn't butchered it as badly. I mean, she skips out loads of pages and then decides to preach about 2 lines for the rest the lesson! I think when we've finished it in class, I'm going to read it again by myself.
But I think there are some funny bits in it... like Scout's ham costume or when Scout goes around cursing for no apparant reason. ^_^

Ha! My English teacher was awesome when we read it last year. I think he liked it mostly for the "Pass the damn ham" scene. However, I enjoyed the book from the first page. It truly made me laugh from time to time, though the movie was a little out there in my mind. TKAM actually proved better to me than I thought it would be, since I was reading it as an assignment. I was just glad it didn't turn out to be another "Great Expectations."

i didnt read it fully because of the English deadlines, but i did get to the important part: strip poker...
