To Kill A Mocking Bird

I have to read this book for some summer reading.

I'm almost on part two. I just wanted to know if it stays as good as it does or if it gets boring. or if it gets better??

Just post anything you know, liked, or disliked about the book!

Its a great book. It gets a lot better. Trust me.

I just read it last school year for my English class. And I had to find out every abstract meaning the book had. So, look for symbols in the book that could relate to the people in the big.

But... I mean, I don't really care for that kind of book. I tend to like Fantasy. But it wasn't so bad. It had a good moral, and the story was pretty cute.

I just hated the ending. It kind of just ended abruptly.

But yeah.... It was good, overall.

The book is okay. Your luck you only had to do it for summer reading. I did it in my English class and we hammered every symbol into the ground. It does end up having a good message and some of the characters are pretty good. I don't know, I think if I had just read it I would have a better opinion of it, but as it is I am not very fond of that book.

Yeah, I read it once outside of school and thought it was okay (then again, I was younger and really didn't understand the trial part). But at school we had to know the symbolism for EVERYTHING. So, I despised it for that two months, but now I think it's an okay book.

Part two gets better. It's like the first half was just an introduction to the characters.

I havent read the book but have seen the older movie version..I liked it actually!!!

I think it's an amazing book, and it does get better

We watched the movie, and I thought Atticus sounded like the Twilight Zone narrator. Does anyone else think so?

ok i read the book my freshmen year and i have no memory of it. Can someone fill me in please???

hmm all i remember about that book is that is was about black people white people... and some guy getting shot alot, then i drew a picture of the guy.

what kind of symbols? like the whole mockingbird part. I just started part two, am I too early in the book to understand it yet??

God. the dialect is really confusing! =P

thanks guys

The symbols, get less confusing towards the end of the book. Or at least they did for me.

It's a good book, yes. The beginning is pretty boring but it makes total sense at the end why they give you so much detail.

Yes. We had to read that book for school this year... Personally, I liked the first part. The first chapter was definitely boring, but the book just keeps getting better the more you read it. I would definitely give it a thumbs up. This was probably the best book I "had" to read. =)

Also, as others have said... the symbols make a lot more sense at the end of the book. Things that seemed like no big deal really come into part at the end. And if parts don't make sense, spark notes gives you the 411. The main theme of the book is empathy.

umm... i think it gets better... but the first part was BO-RING! i dont remember the second part all that well... course i read it 5 years ago...

I read the book for English class last year. At first I thought it would be anothor one of those boring books. But I liked it. The way it focused on certain topics and the overall meanings was very well done. Their were loads of Symbols throughout the book as well. Haha, I remember that being hammered into my head.

Its a great book. Yes, its true, it is boring in the beginning but it picks up. You should definately read thorugh it all. The ending was okay I suppose, in my opinion more could have been done with it. But hey, that's just what I think.

I watched the movie as well, if you get a chance, rent it. It portray's the book really well.

Though i've got to say, I wouldn't read the book again. Once was good enough for me. It's not the type of book you could read over and over again.
