I really enjoyed the book. The movie is good too.
Great read!
What a book. Such values.
The best of the best.
The reason I started my love for books.
One of the greatest books of the twentieth century
My friend saw the film lasy night x
Good book
The reason why, I like this book ,is because of the relationships between the children and the mystery of Arthur Radley.It was also ground breaking because of the trial of Tom Robinson and his defence by Atticus Finch,but the story itself, is focussed on the children.
Love it! ??
have the book but not read it yet,seen the film at college years ago.
My all time favorite book . . . ❤️
Awesome book!
One of my fave books and movies.
Loved this book!
In my TBR pile. ?
Depending on what type of books you are used to, it might take a while to get into, but you will not regret reading this book. It is great. And important.
One of my favourites!
Beautifully written
Amazing book,one of my favorite.
Its awesome! We read it in school and I read it a second time just for myself before I had to give it back to the school
One of the reasons I became a lawyer.
I read it a few times and I liked it. The movie is great too. Gregory Peck won Best Actor in 1962 for his portrayal of Atticus Finch.
It’s not ‘How’!
Thanks I edited it
Wonderfully written! Good character development!
freaking awesome book
A great read on so many levels.
Fav book!!
Such a good book. Not very long but with depth. I’m so glad she revised this book and we didn’t have to read Go Set a Watchman which was the original version of To Kill a Mockingbird.
@Mary mean what? I just went and bought the book…is it different from before? Well I read it in german – maybe the translation is the same as before?!
Josephine, the book “Go Set a Watchman” that was printed in 2015 is actually the original version of To Kill a Mockingbird. I’m glad that her editor at the time refused to publish but saw value in the bones of the story and gave Lee a chance to revise.
Thank you. I couldn´t follow really before. Thanks now I learned even more. Have a great evening.
I will edit my post, I can see why it would be confusing. Thank you.
Really?
@Erin Really what? Not sure what you mean.
I mean the sequel was the original version of the first one?
Yes, Go Set a Watchman was actually the original version that Harper Lee said she did not want to have published. But when she got a new lawyer after her sister died the lawyer “found this long-lost manuscript” and had it published.
Every day’s a school day. I never knew that. What is ‘Watchman like?
It’s about Scout as an adult. Atticus is a racist. The book is not nearly as moving as To Kill a Mockingbird less “heart” than TKM. Some said it was really Lee’s editor at the time who made To Kill a Mockingbird what it became. I wasn’t going to read Go Set a Watchman because I believe the lawyer got Lee’s permission in a sneaky, dishonest way and now profits from the book. But I borrowed it so I could talk more intelligently about it though.
Lawyer…dishonest….profits…..? Neither will I be buying it in that case. Maybe catch it in a charity shop. Thanks for the synopsis Mary Johnson.
Welcome
btw. started the book and nearly finished…can not put it aside.
I hv bought it too but exams ahead can’t share my thoughts now bt desperate to study it…
I think you mean, “To Kill a Mockingbird” not “How to kill a mockingbird”… no one else noticed this… It was an excellent book.
Yes, we noticed but didn’t feel the need to call her out.
Same.
Just didn’t want anyone searching the wrong book title if they were interested.
I enjoyed it very much! I read it my sophomore year in high school. In addition to reading it in school, we also saw the film version with Gregory Peck.
That movie was so good. It’s one of the few movies & books I like probably because I watched the film first.
Wonderful! My 15yo daughter and I liked it very very much! One of my favourite book
I think I would have liked it more if I hadn’t been forced to read it in high school. That always spoils the joy of a good book.
I would have liked church more if I hadn’t been forced to go!
I was so excited! I thought that maybe they had found a rewrite.
Loved it. Didn’t like the sequel at all.
Go Set a Watchman isn’t a sequel, it’s the original version before To Kill a Mockingbird was edited.
I did not like it in school at all. So this past summer I gave it another go. I just did not like the book! Once or twice.
Proof of human goodness
Start reading at the beginning again! What’s the book’s title?
in Deutsch “Wer die Nachtigall stört”
It’s just “To Kill a Mocking Bird.”
“How to kill a mockingbird” is a hunting pamphlet.
It’s To Kill A Mockingbird…not to be anal about books…but i am!!! Lol!!! Loved the movie.
Brilliant!
Amazing book! I’m reading “Go Set a Watchman,” which is the sequel to this book. I recommend that one too
It’s actually not the sequel. It’s the original manuscript that Harper Lee tried to publish but was rejected. The editor how read though saw possibility and worked with Lee to come up with To Kill a Mockingbird.
I didn’t know that. But that’s cool to know ?
Harper Lee never wanted To Set a Watchman to be published but after her sister died the new lawyer “found” the manuscript, fired her editor and published the book.
All that matters is that you found an awesome book! I’m so glad you couldn’t stop reading it! It really is one of my favorites. ❤️.
I enjoyed it
I read it when I was 13. I didn’t understand much but I liked it lol
A WONDERFUL classic
Classic!
We read it at grammar school, I really enjoyed it.
My favorite book
I also enjoyed the film.
One of my favorite books and the movie with Gregory Peck is wonderful.
My all-time favorite book (PERIOD). And the film version is simply amazing. Enjoy.
I haven’t seen the film. Well, so you think it’s worth watching???
@Silena ABSOLUTELY!! Be sure to watch the opening credits. They’re my favorite from any film.
I will, @Bill! I hope to find it in English
One of those rare cases where the book and the movie are equally wonderful!
Great Book.
I loved this book it is well worth the read
had to study it in secondary school about age 15. so i ended up hating it. i know if i never read it in school i would have enjoyed it later as an adult.
It’s a moving analogy of present day USA.
I read it long time ago! But I remember enjoying reading thoroughly.
