To Kill a Mocking Bird

Hello all;

this is book review number one;

Widely known as Oprah Winfrey favorite novel; to kill a mocking bird brings up White vs. Black, right vs. wrong all from the perspective of a nine year old girl. Taking place during the Great Depression. Nine year old Scout and thirteen year old Jem's father Atticus Fitch a lawyer and a perfect southern gentlemen, takes a case of a black man rapeing a white woman the chances of Atticus winning this case is slim to none. In a world where black and white people do not coexist like they do today.

Boo Radley is a man who never leaves his home. When he was young he and his friends got into some mischief making his father so angry that he kept Boo in the house never allowing him to venture out side. Now even after the death of Mr. and Ms. Radley Boo does not leave his house. The children intrigued by the man who hasn't been outside in 30 years, spend their summers trying to lure him outside.

This book is beautiful. It shows the innocence of this nine year old girl who is trying to understand the world around her. Her father does the right thing no matter what anyone else says about him. He all ways does the right thing and encourages his children to do the right thing as well.

This is a heartwarming story. It is unique in its own way. To kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book. It is Lovely and Genuine not terribly exciting but it does have some suspense.

I would recommend that every one on earth read it if they could get the chance. This is a classic novel. which is now "regarded as a masterpiece of American literature." and in turn English literature.

I had to read this in English class and instantly fell in love. I loved it so much that i "forgot" to bring it back. and am currently holding it hostage until i get my own copy.

Truly an amazing book. If you were thinking about reading it and were on the fence, about whether or not you were going to read it, just do it. I promise you; You will enjoy it.

Lovely reading
