Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em. But remember, it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” 
A much beloved classic throughout generations, To Kill a Mockingbird enraptured me just as it has to readers of all ages. I don’t think I can say much more that hasn’t already been said but I was pleasantly surprised at the extent of which I enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading the sequel

I read this book as a class assignment, and all I have to say is f--k this "classic piece of literature" it's a racist and bigoted story written by a racist white woman. It's hardly a classic and despite "teaching prejudice" and "learning about racism" it is terrible for modern-day learning and there are so many better stories you could force students to read. Modern stories, written by people who actually understand bigotry and what it's like to be discriminated against for something like skin color and racial background. I overall despise this book.

I assumed that this book was going to be very sad so I avoided it. It does deal with a tragic destiny of an innocent man but that sort of falls behind. I really liked some of the characters, the setting was interesting, the subject discussed very important. I wanted to read more about how the family and the whole community developed
