I had heard about this book before but have never read it im still reading it and dont have long left. So far i am hooked after the frist few pages i couldnt stop reading i love the story line it has a bit of humour as well and i really cant wait to read her new book Go Set A Watchmen! Please everyone read this book

I remember first reading this when I picked up a battered, much-thumbed edition at a hot car boot sale knowing nothing much about it but loving the title. I read the whole thing in one sitting, transported by an utterly convincing narrative describing a world, vividly created, which seemed to jump out fully formed from the page. Since then I must have read it more than 20 times always discovering something new within the familiar pages. In anticipation of Go Set A Watchman, I've picked it up to re-read yet again and remembered how much I loved Scout's distinctive voice. I can't wait to see the adult she has become. I've grown up with her voice in my head, meeting her now will be like finding an old friend again.

This is a twentieth century classic, beautifully written. Its depiction of racial tensions in the Deep South is probably unrivalled. But even more impressive, to my mind, is the author's evocation of childhood. Again, I cannot think of another writer in the last century who has done better.

what a fantastic book. from the first few pages of the book you form a bond with the characters and when you finish the book it feels as though you are leaving your friends behind rather than just characters from a book. the book is basically about the extremeties of racial hatred years ago and it really opens your eyes to how bad it was. although this is a very serious book there are parts of humour throughout whch break up the seriousness if just a little. i.e when the children are are discussing where babies come from, one little boy says he was told you bought them from a man on an island and another says he was told they are dropped down the chimney. these moments never sease to ruin the book however it is still very serious and an adult read. over all i would highly reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read serious literature and/or are strongly against racism

This isn't just a “classic” because your school said so, it’s a gut punch wrapped in a child’s voice, a courtroom drama soaked in injustice, and a stark reminder that racism isn’t just a relic, it’s a legacy. The writing is deceptively simple, the characters unforgettable, and the message? Still tragically relevant.
