    "Harper Lee is an amazing writer and to Kill a Mockingbird is one of the great literary works of our time. A tragic tale of prejudice and miscarriage injustice, this book is still relevant to this day. To Kill a Mockingbird is well worth the money and should be read and reread over and over again."

    "To Kill a Mockingbird is the most classic story about racial discrimination. Harper Lee set the bar as high as possible and no one has ever been able to reach it. To Kill a Mockingbird is the pinnacle of showing the racial oppression that used to be thriving in America and, in many ways, still is today."

I dont mean to say that my purpose for reading was solely for a summer project for school, but to say I really enjoyed it through and through. One of those books you pick up when you are older and remember all of the highs and lows you experienced as a child. Unreal story and a must read of all time. "

    "The setting for this book is the fictional town of Macomb, Alabama in the mid 1930s. The narrator of the story is Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, a 10 year old tomboy. Her father, Atticus Finch, is a lawyer who is defending a black man accused of raping a white woman. The likelihood of a black man getting a fair trial in the south in the 1930s is about 1 in a million...optimistically speaking."

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a classic of American literature, and a sobering look about intolerance in the early south, and for understanding how far we have come since the days of Jim Crow over the course of several years and seasons beyond summer."

The story and writing are timeless, and honestly more important now than ever. If you haven’t read this book, or even at least seen the movie, you really need to pick this up. You’ll get lost in her stories but learn a lot about yourself, the Civil Rights movement, and just a little more about what it means to be human. I hope they keep using this book in schools until we can no longer say there is any discrimination in this world."
