To Kill a Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.

                                 This book was slow at times, but overall I enjoyed it. It followed the lives for two children who had their own unique personalities. I liked the first half of the book much more than the second, when it got into the court case mare and less about the children and Boo Radley. I loved the end of the book though and how Boo was brought back into it.

                              Smee Bucket- This book, know as an American classic, is worth that label. It is very detailed, both for characters and setting, and readers can clearly picture everything.  Some of the words are hard and the first couple pages are very slow, but other than that, the story is interesting, In the story, 6-year-old tom boy Scout Finch llives in the South during the 1930's and must learn about racism, respect, maturity, and other important themes.
