good submitted by Ele Z. on August 3, 2011, 7:05am good

A classic submitted by soccerforlife on July 14, 2012, 10:55am I thought this book would be boring and stupid because I had to read it for English, and almost all the books we read this year in that class were boring and stupid. But this one surprised me- it was far from boring, and it taught me a great lesson: don't judge someone until you know them very well. I could relate to Scout and Jem and possibly all the characters in this book, except for Mrs. Dubose, who was an old witch. I would recommend this book to anyone, old or young. It is truly a classic because it was written a long time ago, but people today can still understand the message given by this book. Harper Lee is an extremely talented author.

An Excellent Read! submitted by leehannah on July 13, 2013, 8:48am I enjoyed reading this book very much. I thought it would be a book that I would abandon, but turns out to be very good with lots of deep meanings to it, and there is also a lot of symbolism. It has some content that readers younger than 5th grade may not understand, but overall, I feel that this book was excellent.

Great submitted by jangmikyoung on July 13, 2013, 8:49am Harper Lee is an amazing author. This book was truly astonishing and I thought it was a great classic. I think everybody should read this book at some point in their life.

Bad submitted by JCastle on June 18, 2014, 10:24pm to be honest I really hated the book. It was really boring. It may be because I am just a kid but it was so boring I didn't even finish it.

Relevant. Read and re-read it. submitted by terpsichore17 on July 23, 2018, 11:28am I wish this book didn’t remain as significant or relevant as it is. But since it has, I’m heartened by how much can be conveyed through a six-year-old’s eyes, and impressed that Harper Lee could handle such topics (possible autism, heroin addiction, racism, allegations of rape, wrongful death, manslaughter, rumors, hypocrisy, educational conflict) while remaining more or less warm in tone. All this makes for a richly rewarding re-read.

I’m increasingly curious as to how Atticus Finch became so singular in his attitudes (perhaps Go Set a Watchman will answer that). I hope there comes a day where people are as empathetic and as consistently principled as he is.
