- Race and Class in the Deep South
It is perhaps appropriate that this was the first book I read after the election of America's first black President. My real reason for re-reading it, however, was for the purposes of comparison with Faulkner's "Intruder in the Dust", which deals with a similar theme. Indeed, I recently came across an allegation that Harper Lee's novel was essentially a plagiarism of Faulkner's.

The book is set in Maycomb County, Alabama, during the depression era of the 1930s. It is a first-person narrative told through the eyes of Jean Louise Finch who, for some reason, goes by the nickname Scout. Although she is only a child at the time of the events described, the narrative voice is that of the adult Jean Louise looking back at her childhood ... Read More:

This is my favourite novel of all time. I have read it so many times, I know it off by heart and also have the film.
The character of Scout is wise beyond her years and exposes the cruel, harsh, but contrastingly and most importantly, compassionate tendancies of the 1930s adult world. She reveals to us the true mockingbird (Tom Robinson) of the story and how someone that does nothing but selfless and honest work can be treated in such a way by others that it elicits sympathy from any third party- e.g us as readers. The setting is also vividly described- you can imagine yourself sitting on the dusty porch with Atticus, watching the sun set and see Jem and Scout with Dill. The innocence of Scout, in its totality, is what allows the reader ... Read More:

- A little slow, but fantastic!!
When I first picked up this novel, hearing that it was a classic, i thought it would too dreary for me as I was used to the quickly paced modern fiction. I was very wrong.

Even though the story is slow, you come to realise just how drenched the town is in prejudice. Harper Lee gets across the themes and characters very well.

A great read. Deserved to be called a classic.

- To kill a mockingbird?
An absolute 'MUST READ' - a real challenge to your consciousness and your thoughts about right and wrong - what a characterful and honest book - just couldn't put it down.

Rating:

- tolerance
It's been ages since I've read this book so I'm not going to say much but this book should be read. Teachers have started not to study this book in schools because it has the word nigger in it (well in this country they have started to stop). It's more important now to read it them ever, this book promotes tolerance rather than racism. It's not the quickest book to read but it's a great book, I'm never going to give this book away.
