I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this half as much as I did. The voice of Scout is perfect and her observations of the people around town are astute and frequently witty. At the centre of the story is the unforgivable injustice against Tom Robinson and the ability of white people on the jury and co...
Yes, I've finally read it. I'd managed to not read TKAM for decades because there was never a copy at hand and frankly, I was never interested enough to make any effort to acquire one. Until, as some of you know, I was at a library book sale last year and made an impulsive grab of a copy for $1, w...
For such an acclaimed classic novel, I've come to it late. I know the the reputation of the masterpiece by Harper Lee and the centrality of the character, Atticus Finch. What I hadn't realised was that it's written from the perspective of his young daughter, Jean Louise, aka 'Scout' and I think this...
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” I need to admit that reading this book gave me the impression of being robbed. Most Americans had the chance to read it through middle school and t...

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...
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...
73. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, BY HARPER LEEActually, this one was recommended (rather non-voluntarily) to me by a creep on the internet who took offense at me wanting to spend a year reading books written by women. Unfortunately, I didn’t take note of his user name and don’t know how to get in touch wi...
