My initial reaction on the amazing book To Kill a Mocking Bird was this book is way to confusing. So I went to the library and picked up the on tape version, and that helped a lot. I like this book for its great hook in the very beginning. Although this book is hard for me I still like it. It is amazing to think how hard life was in the 1960's, but it would be cool to live at this time in the south.

If I had to describe this book in three words I would call it “A Powerful Book”, I would call it this because, it is an emotional book that teaches about being prejudice and this is what makes this book powerful. I think that it is cool that Jem and Scout have a dad that is easy going, because back then most people were very strict. For instance Scouts teacher was very strict in the way she teaches.

I like how this book has surprises in the pages, all you have to do is read read read, so I leave you here because I am going to go read.
