whats SKINNY and TIGHT mean?"


Shinny is the bourbon..."


Now that you explained it, it makes perfect sense. Thanks from me, as well.


Jason (jasondenness) | 1877 comments Well I have reached the part of the book where we are about to go into the court house.

Very good book so far.


Seraphina | 100 comments Loved this book, the courthouse is so well written

I concur. Actually, I found the whole novel so.


Jason (jasondenness) | 1877 comments Well the court has finished and the expected verdict came back, it is crazy how dumb some people were.

Is this the only book Harper Lee has written? Seems pretty crazy as this book is so good.

It is an extraordinary book, to my mind the one book that every single person should read at least once. It says so much.

And yes, I don't think she wrote anything else.

Hard act to follow for her!

Jan Notzon | 261 comments No, she didn't write another. I read that she apparently tried. Some writers just have one book in them. But, I concur, what a great one!


Jason (jasondenness) | 1877 comments Finished it. I don't think you could possible rate this book less than 5 stars. Absolutely amazing.

I didn't realise this was a read along, but have spent the last few days reading this. I rated it 5 stars. I agree that it would be hard to give it anything less. I am still pondering it


Cathy | 553 comments Reading this now - can't believe I have never read it before. Gripping. Love Scout's narration.


Cathy | 553 comments Finished yesterday. Brilliant book. Love the way we see everything through Scout's eyes. 5 stars, definitely.


Jason (jasondenness) | 1877 comments Well done Cathy, fantastic book and I am still in shock it is her only book.

Done!


Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse (mcurry1990) This is a great read. I need to revisit it soon, especially if I plan to try "Go Set a Watchman."
