Hello everyone! I have just finished reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I really loved how Harper Lee was able to teach readers indirectly to be a better person, such as doing what is right, and not what the majority of people are doing. However, I was wondering what are your thoughts on this book? What made you guys love this book so much?

My favorite thing is how Raymond pretends to drink just so he can live his life however he wants. I have forgotten most of the book since I first read it but that part sticks with me.
first, i find it really fascinating following up with Scout and James's childhood, since that my favorite novel of all time is about a wild child who has escape from his father and the people who were taking care of him, and he just ran away with a black friends of his and they start discovering the world together and yes i mean The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, because it really calms me down back when ive first read it in middle school.
what i found interesting about to To Kill A Mockingbird is the smooth flow of the story and the plot and the crises that pull you all together to know about their mysterious neighbor. i had started a challenge back in the days at August, 2019 to read about 3 thousands pages and it was one of the books in my list, and i literally had so much fun reading it and watching the movie with my mom even if the novel is a way better.
i loved Scout, and i loved her wild not giving a penny about gender roles and being a free spirit, beside how thoughtful her dad is for standing for such situations.

The thing that stands out for me isn't a section of the book. My favourite element is Scout's voice. She is the classic unreliable narrator, especially as she is so young.
It is the same technique that Conan Doyle uses with Sherlock Holmes - the "star" is Holmes but the narrator is Dr Watson. Similarly, the "star" of TKAM is arguably Atticus but the narrator is Scout. It's a clever way of showing something of both characters.

Hey, I don't know why I remember this specific part of the book as it's not even relevant to the story, but I laughed so hard when Scott found Jem surrounded by twelve banana peels because he wanted to gain weight, I thought it was hilarious.
Amazing book. I can't get out of head how young Scout disarmed the entire crazy mob simply by recognizing one of them and reminding of his humanity. Great story.
Sure, it has many symbols and themes and what not, but is an absolute struggle to read. Terrible and overrated. I’d pick up ‘spot the dog,’before this.

I loved the part at the end where Scout had just walked Boo home and she is standing on his porch and sees her neighborhood through his perspective. A flashback of events that happened throughout the book come streaming and you finally understand what it was like to be Boo, watching the kids live with the seasons and to care for them and to think of Scout and Jem as his own children.
I am currently re-reading it. There's this one line that stuck with me since I first read it in school “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
That paragraph has thought me empathy and has influenced my life in so many ways its hard to count.

The one scene that has always been a distillation of the message of the book is when Atticus, armed with nothing more than a newspaper and his reputation, holds off a lynch mob.
OK, Scout's simple naivete' helped a lot, too, but Atticus didn't know she'd be there.
