A beautifully written book. I was assigned to read it for my English class, and I was amazed to how much I ended up liking it. The beginning was a little slow, but after it got really good. I especially love the writing of Boo Radley and Scout.

i read this book twice. Once for school and before that because i was bored. Just like 13 reasons why my hatred for this book only grew reading it for the second time. While I appreciate the values portrait the finished product is boring and the values drown in the wasteland that is this book. I liked the ending but to get there you'll have to suffer through boring descriptions and an outdated language. While i think there is a ton of symbolism and ways to interpret this book i don't think that everyone and their mother should read it in school, especially since it's the default option of racism being discussed in a lot of cases. The n*word is literally used a few times and i think there are better books to teach a 12th grade or any grade about the judicial system or the systemic racism in America and all around the world.

This book was one of my all time favorites that I read in highschool and had to reread it now as an adult. This is definitely one of my favorite classics and recommend highly. The anger you feel about how Tom Robinson is treated is real and are thankful to Atticus for defending him. Scout POV is brilliant as she is a child trying to understand the way of life. Overall an amazing classic!
