What can i say. Im sure everybody had read this book and for good reason. This classic gives us a historical look into the lives of a traditional family involved in conspiracies and controversy's. To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee was a reading sensation. Although i had left it very late to read im glad i finally did. For some reason i was always very intimidated by this book, i never had the courage to pick it up no matter how much it was recommened to me, i was simply afraid it would be boring. I was wrong.

To kill a mockingbird tells the story of a family living in a historical town in America. We follow from the point of view of Scout, a young girl, daughter of Atticus Finch ( the male protagonist, a lawyer).

This story was beyond powerful it told captivating events and really sets the perspective of how life was back then. Not only does it have its serious nature about it but it also has its mystery and thriller elements too. From the unknown family living in the house at the end of the street to planned plot bases that keep you turning the pages.

I cant reccomend this book enough. If you haven't read this already then add it to your TBR shelfs.

I read this book too many years ago to admit, but had forgotten most of what happened, so decided to read it again. It was well worth my time; now I can better appreciate how beautifully Harper Lee crafted it. She carefully developed the characters and dropped clues of what might happen; then brought it all together into a thrilling climax. It was riveting and I had to go back and reread the final chapter to make sure I understood just what happened in the final fateful moments. This was another read I was sorry to finish

Herodes Atticus was a Greek stoic teacher of Marcus Aurelius.
To Kill a Mockingbrid is a great story told by a brilliant storyteller. She raises interesting dilemmas for those with high ethics livig gracefully within an immoral society held togethe by collective consent.

I read this book with Trevor (my 12 year old) this summer and then we went to see the play at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Possibly the best book ever.
