    <body><![CDATA[Even though I oanly gave it 3 stars, I really enjoyed reading this book. It made me want to dig a little deeper into the life of Nelle Harper Lee and Truman Capote. I do think this books suits its target audience-TKAM fans will love all the anecdotes about her childhood in Monroeville.

    <body><![CDATA[An interesting biography written in an interesting style that really made me want to learn more about Harper Lee.

    <body><![CDATA[This glimpse into Harper Lee's life is impressive in its depth and detail, particularly for a figure who remained so aloof from the public eye. Charles Shield's research is impeccable, his prose polished. The biography reads like a cohesive story, making it an enjoyable, relatively fast-paced read. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77398514">more...</a>]]></body>
