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

idek what to say about this. fantastic use of symbols and a plot that isn't slow even though it includes 3 years of events. part one is alright (setting up the pieces on the board) but part two is amazing. harper lee really builds an image of scout's neighborhood and the people living in maycomb. i feel this town is doomed forever and simultaneously hopeful that they can change. lots of discussion of racism, gender, and class divides throughout that are so important but i feel like i cant even articulate my words for what needs to be said about them so just read the damn book please

I didn’t think I’d like this book and I have never wanted to read it, but I found a copy in a holiday home we were staying in and thought I’d read a couple of pages to see what it was like….well I got hooked!
I really enjoyed it, I loved Scout and Jem, hearing their thoughts as they try to make sense of the world around them & the fickle decisions of adults. I loved the wisdom of Atticus and how he explained the world to his children.
A thoroughly enjoyable classic.
