This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'... and Gon's Balls will whisper 'First... comes... rock!' Hah!  Made you stare at Naruto's Marshmallow!  Pushing the logo off-center to drive TheOcean insane.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
