I read this book in school and had forgotten all but the basic story line (somehow I forgot all about Dill, and most of the townsfolk, and their Aunt). I was listening to the section following the trial when Atticus is talking to Jem and getting frustrated in how little somethings seem to have chang...
"There's something in our world that makes men lose their heads—they couldn't be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life. "The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is i...
I have such a fondness for stories with child protagonists that accurately portray the world from an inexperienced (or naive) point of view. There is something clearer about the child perspective that reminds you, as an adult, of what you remember things to be like when you were that age - undoubted...
“Idź, postaw wartownika” to bardzo odważna książka. Dodatkowo wpływa mocno na “Zabić drozda”, nadając słynnej książce zupełnie nowe znaczenie, o tyle ciekawe, że momentami wręcz negatywne. Jak to jest możliwe, by “Zabić drozda” było lekturą negatywną? Jasne, że nie jest, jednak po “Wartowniku” napra...
Really. What can I possibly add that'll show my appreciation for this literary masterpiece? All I can say is I'm annoyed as all hell that none of my schools had this as required reading. Why? WHY?!? Ahem... Okay, I'm back. All I can say is I really enjoyed To Kill a Mockingbird. I wished I had p...
Starts out excruciatingly slow, and is marred by poor editing (Is the school headmaster Mr Tuffett or Ms Muffett?) It picks itself up a bit in the final third and becomes a nice but somewhat uninspiring read. Mild spoilers:Others have mentioned how their biggest disappointment is the relegation of A...
This book was read in Swedish. I have avoided reading reviews of this book because I didn't want to read spoilers and I also didn't want other people's thoughts to influence my thoughts of the book. I also was a bit nervous to start to read it because To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my all tim...
Warning: This review is spoilery, in case you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know the big reveal. This is the story of a young woman who returns to the small southern town she grew up in, only to find that she is not able to feel at home and that her remaining family and friends hold racial...
I can understand why lots of readers will give this book a negative rating: Atticus Finch, this beloved character from To Kill a Mockingbird now suddenly doesn't look so bright anymore. He turns out to be a racist who also attended meetings of the Ku-Klux-Klan. This revelation will clearly be a shoc...
