Hmmmm, I see that you're reading "To Kill a Mocking Bird"; this is probably the best book I've ever read!! Listen, the first 2 chapters are trash, and you're probably going to think that the book is boring but it's not. Once you meet Atticus & Scout, you're gonna loveeee this book!!!

well to be honest i would rate this book a like 6 out of 10 and that is because the book dosent really catch my attention i mostly read mystery books like remember me by christophor pike (dont know how to spell his name....) or books that are so well detail and interesting like twilght that i thought i was going to hate but when i read it was so detailed and well written so also atticus finch isnt really an inspiration to me only the fact that he is a lawyer and helps people with problems and i would like to help people to. yeah so thats really it....

well....
i guess i will start with that at first when i started the book i thought it was very boring.
then, as it started talking about scout and her family the book caught my attention. one of the characters that i think is intresting is dill. i mean why does he always make up these storys what happens to him.is it that hard to be yourself and like it.o yea i dont really see atiticus bein such a great character. i mean yea he broke family tradition but is that all what makes him a facinating character.
O yea theres this question thats been on mind about the book why does the Ewells get to bend the rules in Maycomb.like seariously somebody needs to step up and say something.
SPEAK UP!!

This book is getting really interesting time after time. I'm reading chapter 8 right now and alot of events have been occuring with Scout and Jem. I can't wait to find out about there adventure with Dill and the Radleys. At first I thought that this book was going to be boring because of the first two chapters, but now its very exciting.

heee hee haha this Luis V. person is making me laugh out loud. really?...Am I REALLY going to like this book???? ehhh i dont know, its iight i guess. well anyways i think i finally figured out why Scout calls Atticus Finch, Atticus...insted of dad or father.
So you know how Jem and Scout dont have a mother because she died when Scout was young.I think that scout thinks why call him dad if theres no mom. Calpurnia(cook) is kind of like a mom figure for Scout but is not the same.Scout is a young girl and thats probably why Atticus dont tell her anything but then again why does'nt he tell Jem something? He's older.

Well to be honest when I first first started to read "To Kill a Mockingbird" I thought that it was very boring. But as I got into the book a litte more I started to realize that it is actually interesting. My favorite characters in this book are Jem and Atticus. I like Atticus because he teaches his children based upon examples of things that happened in his life. The reason why I like Jem is because he learns from what his father teaches him, and tries his best to teach Scout to do what's right. I can't wait to read more

To Kill A Mockingbird is an amazing book. The chapter that we read in class today was so super cute. I love the fact that Dill and Scout are very innocent, but I believe by thye end of the novel it will ll be gone.

absaloutely loved the book "To Kill A Mocking Bird". However, the book is way more better its nice that after reading the book and picuring in your mind how the characters look to actually watching the movie and seeing how they really look. The book was very interesting.
