Do you guys think that To Kill a Mockingbird lives up to the hype? Is it, in your own opinion, such a masterpiece as it has been named? I think so. But what do you think?

Definitely, though at the beginning it was incredably boring

yes! please do... better yet, read it now ;)
i started it like a million times until i could really get into it. i don't know when it started getting good, but there came a point where i couldn't put it down. and i distinctly remember reading the last half at night time, all in one go, and that was when my love of reading sparked up again (it had died down, presumably because of Latin). So i guess it's got a pretty special place in my heart right now :)

its really boreing -_- up to chapter 3, ment to be finished by now. have to do it for school.

also, help. i need to do a monolog for school from mrs caroline's point of view about what she thinks about the children.

our topic is "Walking in my shoes"

Talk about how she's new to the town and not used to the ways of the children there.
She doesn't understand why they don't take her punnishments seriously and that they make fun of her quite a lot.

I read it about a year ago, this is all I could come up with right now :)

Definatly yes. At first I thought it was very slow and boring but dont like to leave books unread so I pushed myself a little bit and it was totally worth it i ended up loving the book, good story & good values. Wouldn't mind reading it again. (ps: Im not english so it was even harder for me at first, so anyone who likes reading should read this one)

Im exactly at the halfway point, and I have found it slow and tough to really care about. I will read it to the end, as I cannot stop now.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books. I know, I'm so original. XD But really. It's just such a sweet and beautiful story about learning to accept others and not judge them unfairly. Plus, all the characters are just so awesome. Scout! Jem! Dill! Atticus! Boo Radley! A;KDLFJ;SDJLFSLDJK *Fangirls forever*

Ahh I know! I love the movie as well. :D
