I think it is a great book。 What makes it great， in my opinion， is that the reader sees the dramatic story of injustice through the eyes of an innocent child who is still learning about the world around her。 It is a different and important perspective。 It makes you think of how a person is not born cruel， but rather brought up that way。

Un libro clásico maravilloso， honestamente se me hizo un poco pesado en algunas partes pero la historia está muy bien narrada y vale la pena leerla

uno dei miei libri preferiti！ mi è piaciuto lo stile di scrittura scorrevole， ma preciso e descrittivo。 i personaggi sono unici， dalla curiosa e brillante Scout， fino a suo padre Atticus， coraggioso e desideroso di insegnare ai suoi figli ciò che ritiene giusto。 Anche i temi sono importanti e adoro che siano stati visti sotto il punto di vista della sincera e piccola Scout。 dovrebbero leggerlo in molti

[Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 1961]A perennial favourite no matter how many times you read it。 The characters are embedded in my mind and are so well written that the movie just made it live that little bit more。

Fantastic， beautifully written book。 Can't believe I left it so long。 Will revisit this story told from young Jean Louis who sees things through child's eyes in a time that lies thankfully behind us。 Her father Atticus and brother Jem come alive through her voice in their sleepy town where bad things happen to good people。 Boo's my hero。 Fantastic， beautifully written book。 Can't believe I left it so long。 Will revisit this story told from young Jean Louis who sees things through child's eyes in a time that lies thankfully behind us。 Her father Atticus and brother Jem come alive through her voice in their sleepy town where bad things happen to good people。 Boo's my hero。 。。。more

If I could capture the emotions I felt while reading this book， I would lock it into a jar and smell it every day of my life。To Kill a Mockingbird is a masterpiece in literary writing and storytelling。 Set in Macomb County in the 1960s， it narrates a small-town story through the eyes of eight-year-old Jean Louise "Scott" Finch。 Jean lives with her brother Jem and father Atticus Finch， a practicing lawyer for the state。 A single father， Atticus strives hard to raise his kids right。 However， when If I could capture the emotions I felt while reading this book， I would lock it into a jar and smell it every day of my life。To Kill a Mockingbird is a masterpiece in literary writing and storytelling。 Set in Macomb County in the 1960s， it narrates a small-town story through the eyes of eight-year-old Jean Louise "Scott" Finch。 Jean lives with her brother Jem and father Atticus Finch， a practicing lawyer for the state。 A single father， Atticus strives hard to raise his kids right。 However， when he has to defend a black man against the rape charges by a white woman- a case that becomes the town's talk， Atticus must take some crucial parenting decisions to set an example to his kids。“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view。。。 Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it。”Atticus Finch is the star of the story。 The lawyer is not only a successful parent but also a just person。 Be it shooting a mad dog in the street or defending a black man in the courthouse， Atticus does only what his heart wants him to do， thus setting an infallible example for his kids。“They're certainly entitled to think that， and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions。。。 but before I can live with other folks， I've got to live with myself。 The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience。”（view spoiler）[His concluding speech in the case gave me goosebumps。 It's a moment that defines the crux of Atticus Finch。 It's a moment that crowns him as the hero of the story。 （hide spoiler）]Scout Finch is another character who crawls into your skin。 The little girl in bob-cut hair goes about asking the most real questions and offers the most succinct and raw insights only the pure minds of an 8-year old can offer。 “I think there's just one kind of folks。 Folks。”Though she's the protagonist and is meant to be the central character， no merit can overshadow a daughter's admiration and trust for her father。 In the altar of admiration that Scout adorns Atticus， everything else pales。“It was times like these when I thought my father， who hated guns and had never been to any wars， was the bravest man who ever lived。”This book is so real and raw that even the secondary characters earn their own spot in the story。 Calpurnia， Finch's black caretaker， single-handedly leads some important scenes in the story。 "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy。 They don’t eat up people’s gardens， don’t nest in corn cribs， they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us。 That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird。"Then， there's Maudie Atkinson， the next-door single-woman portrayal of a neighbor who is the perfect aunt to these kids and puts to shame anyone who attacks her， Atticus， or the kids。 “There are just some kind of men who-who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one， and you can look down the street and see the results。” There's another kid in the story， Dil Harris， a neighbor's nephew who comes over every summer。 He and the Finch kids do stupid and curious things kids are notorious for， such as trying to draw out the next-door quaint neighbor， old Boo Radley， who is rumored to be a "scary ghost。" （view spoiler）[That's why， when Boo Radley literally saves Scout and Jem's life in the end， the moment is a metaphor for the kids growing up and seeing the reality of life: people are often quite the opposite of what they're rumored to be。 （hide spoiler）]The parts with Dil in it cracked me up。 Moments such as when he ran away from his house to catch a train to his aunts' place or when he flippantly remarks to Scout， "Let's make a baby。" remind me of the mindlessly rubbish things we often said or did as kids。 Although the book starts slow， it grows on you。 You realize you don't want it to end once you get used to its vibes。 （view spoiler）[As much as it is about the black vs。 white case， it also explores themes of truth， justice， parenting， childhood， and small-town life。 （hide spoiler）]Life， as seen from the eyes of Scout Finch， will send you tumbling back into the yonder days of growing up。 These were simpler times when your days were made of school， family， neighbors， siblings， and friends who came over for the summer holidays。 When your parents' word was final and the gospel truth。 When you felt safe in the world because you knew no matter what happens， you knew they'd be looking out for you。 “It's not time to worry yet”It's summer。 As I sit in my garden and close my eyes， Sissy Spacek's narration takes me back in time。In Scout Finch， I see myself。In Atticus， I see my late father。In To Kill a Mockingbird， I see my childhood。 。。。more

In all honesty， I struggled reading this book。 Nothing happened until 3/4 of the way through。The only interesting bits were the trial and the last two chapters at the end。For me it is a very overrated book and I think for obvious reason。 I think it was just the execution of the story that was the problem for me。

*3。5 stars I heard this book title so many times and never once did I read it until English class。 It was kind of slow and boring in the beginning ngl but slowly it did become quite interesting， especially these last few chapters were surprising and unexpected to me。 It was a pretty cool book， I liked it。 The ending was alright I don't really know what to say rn since I just finished but it was a good book。 I'm glad I finally got to read it。 yeah ok ty byee *3。5 stars I heard this book title so many times and never once did I read it until English class。 It was kind of slow and boring in the beginning ngl but slowly it did become quite interesting， especially these last few chapters were surprising and unexpected to me。 It was a pretty cool book， I liked it。 The ending was alright I don't really know what to say rn since I just finished but it was a good book。 I'm glad I finally got to read it。 yeah ok ty byee 。。。more

Jean Louise Finch， alias «Scout»， es una niña criada en un pueblo de Alabama por su padre， el abogado Atticus Finch。 Nos va a contar sus aventuras de verano junto a su hermano Jeremy y su mejor amigo Dill。 La veremos develar poco a poco los misterios de la vida y del mundo adulto con esa agudeza tan propia de los niños， a la vez penetrante e inocente。Todo marcha estupendamente hasta que a su padre le encargan un caso difícil: defender a un negro acusado de violar a una muchacha blanca。 La famili Jean Louise Finch， alias «Scout»， es una niña criada en un pueblo de Alabama por su padre， el abogado Atticus Finch。 Nos va a contar sus aventuras de verano junto a su hermano Jeremy y su mejor amigo Dill。 La veremos develar poco a poco los misterios de la vida y del mundo adulto con esa agudeza tan propia de los niños， a la vez penetrante e inocente。Todo marcha estupendamente hasta que a su padre le encargan un caso difícil: defender a un negro acusado de violar a una muchacha blanca。 La familia Finch tendrá que enfrentarse a una situación difícil， pues la integridad moral que Atticus muestra defendiendo a Tom Robinson les gana muchos enemigos en el pueblo。 Es la década de los 30。 El resultado del caso。。。 Véanlo por ustedes mismos。Es una historia absolutamente hermosa y conmovedora。 Le doy 5 estrellas bien merecidas。 Tiene mucho humor， pero también mucha honestidad al mostrar realidades difíciles。 El racismo por ejemplo。 Pero el centro del libro no está ahí。 Para mí el centro del relato es la dulzura de Scout al mostrarnos cómo la experiencia trágica de su padre con el caso de Tom Robinson constituyó una fuente de madurez en su vida。 Su mundo infantil y lleno de fantasía se va fundiendo en el mundo de los adultos poco a poco， verano tras verano， y con ello llega el tener que enfrentarse a problemas de adultos: la murmuración， la injusticia， la violencia。 En resumen: enfrentarse a la condición humana， que es la misma sin importar el decorado， y es este hecho lo que le da poder a este libro para llegar a los lectores de cualquier lugar y cualquier época。 。。。more

Well this book lived up to the hype in all the ways a literary classic can。 A coming of age story in a broken America。 Riddled with lessons for humans of all ages， I will be thinking about this one for a while。

Genial！ La primera parte del libro pensé que era otro clásico más con el que no conecto。 Ha sido la segunda parte， cuando se inicia la trama sobre la esclavitud， cuando he comprendido porqué este libro ocupa el lugar que ocupa y se ha convertido en uno de lectura obligatoria。

What a pleasurable， thought-provoking， relevant and fun read！ You must also read Go Set A Watchman - it's the matured complement to this book。 Together they elevate above and beyond TKaM's classic status。 What a pleasurable， thought-provoking， relevant and fun read！ You must also read Go Set A Watchman - it's the matured complement to this book。 Together they elevate above and beyond TKaM's classic status。 。。。more

I liked this but sometimes it felt like reading a history book， i think that's why it took me so long to finish it， for me it kinda got a boring at times。 But overall I enjoyed it， i like the way it's written and i like how it makes me feel this warm touch in my soul if that makes sense。 Again I gave it 3 stars because at times it felt like reading a history book。 I liked this but sometimes it felt like reading a history book， i think that's why it took me so long to finish it， for me it kinda got a boring at times。 But overall I enjoyed it， i like the way it's written and i like how it makes me feel this warm touch in my soul if that makes sense。 Again I gave it 3 stars because at times it felt like reading a history book。 。。。more

I read it for a class assignment， but it turned out to be one of the best books I have ever read。 With its page-turning plot， insightful stories on prejudice， and the magnificent vocabulary it processes。 This book I would recommend to anyone。
