This is the best book I have ever read! I recommend this for teenagers. The part I remember the most is Scout Finch getting in trouble, next Boo Radley killing Bob Ewell. I came across some cursing, but this book is great

What Parents Need to Know
About To Kill a Mockingbird
Parents need to know that through the eyes of children Jem and Scout Finch, racism is examined when a black man goes on trial for the rape of a white woman. By turns warm, satiric, and devastating, this is a true American classic.

I need to read more of it.
My friend and I got this book like 2 days ago from our school library. I heard of this book from other websites and so I decided to try it. I only read 6 pages, and the writing already is great. I just can't wait to read it all :D

We had to read this in reading and I finished it in 3 days even though it took 3 months for us to discuss it. I loved this book and I think it needs to be read by everyone!

Good messages,
Seven year olds might not get the messages, but they certainly won't be disturbed by the violence. It might warrant a talk explaining rape though....most of my friends thought it was a boring book, hard to get in to. I agree with them. I've read the silmarillion all the way through, so when i say something's boring....

A must read
This book is a classic. It should be read by all children. There are very strong messages in this book (such as why racism is wrong) and is a book that will stay with you for life. One of the best books of all time. Truly profound and will raise moral issues that you can disscus with your children.
