January General BotM: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

[Fauuzzie]

Alright, this month's BotM is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, chosen by the End of 2012 Challenge winner Sarajayne.

I know quite a few of you high school graduates have probably read this book...:)

I think I've read this book four times! It's one of my favourites! I read it on my own and then again in high school and then twice more since then.

Ah! One of the best bools, ever! I read it in high school and fell in love with it.

[Areej]

Reading it with the class and loving it!

[Kelly]

Read It! Loved It! Thats all I can say, hope you all enjoy it as much as I did

Our high school does not require students to read to kill a mockingbird which I am grateful for since I wouldn't have liked it nearly as much as I did if it was for an assessment! Overall it was such a brilliant book that was wonderfully written... It strikes me as a modern twist on classics! Unlike Austen books (which I adore) harper lee eliminates the use of hard words and difficult syntax. 4 stars

That's really weird that it isn't required for you!
But even it was, you'd probably still enjoy it. I usually hated the books we HAD to read but this one was different. Even the students in my class that hated class/books/school/reading &c. really enjoyed reading this one. Some of the guys who never did much class even read ahead or more than was assigned!

Exactly, there was something about *having* to read a book that ruins it for me. Like I wasn't reading because I liked it, but because I had to. So that kinda ruined my view of the book.

Still enjoyed it though

This is a Classic for a reason. :)
