I not long ago wrote a rather long essay on this. It's safe to say I'm sick of it.
But from an intellectual point of view, it is fantastically written. The film is quite good too but I prefer the book. :D
It's a great book but after reading it five times for an exam i want to burn it
its become one of my favourite books. when we studied it last september time in class i didnt really like it but i reread it over the weekend and because i didnt have to stop to analyse i really loved it
i really related to the characters tbh, i guess my dad reminds me of atticus and i have an older brother who reminds me of jem
so i really got into it
I'm meant to have read it for my English literature exam, but frankly, literature bores me. I'm better off with Maths or sciences. I really fail to engage in the text (except when the author is Gordon Ramsay, Phil Jackson or Charles Barkley) and thus I don't really understand what's going on most the time. I don't really get the point in the book. Is it about racism? Is it about Arthur Radley (wow I still remember his name)? Or is it about something that I completely missed? I don't get how the racism thing and Arthur Radley link, if they even do. But if they don't, why did Harper Lee include both? I don't really get the purpose of Dill either. He comes and goes and doesn't really have much of an effect in my opinion.
Having said that, I'm glad I don't have to do Far From the Madding Crowd, which, as one of my friends said, is definitely not far from the maddening.
Yes, it's one of the best books I've ever read, the film was REALLY good too, but the book is in a whole other level.
Yeah i think its quite good, had to read it last year for school ;)

I can see how it is a very well written novel however it's not really my style. Nonetheless I still enjoyed it.
