Probably my favorite book ... have read it several times. Having grown up in the "deep South", I particularly like the relationship between the children as it reminds me of my childhood & the friends I had.

Shelves: classics

This was the first time I read To Kill a Mockingbird and I really enjoyed it. I recently joined the Classics for Beginners group and found this to be a great introduction. I must admit that I did find it uncomfortable to read some of the racist terms within this book, but they helped stress the mindset of the characters and were not out of place. Harper Lee makes the reader feel truly engaged while reading this story.
