To Kill a Mockingbird, Who read this?? Options

[1angel3]

Who read To KIll A Mocking Bird by Herper Lee in school? It was a cool book, I also seen the movie, I'm not much of a reader, but I love this book, better than Harry Pottor in my opinion.

[shannonx1]

I didn't really like it that much

[*steve330*]

twas all right. Wasn't a mind-number to read. Of all the books I was forced to read in highschool, however, I think Fallen Angels (book bout Vietnam) was my favorite.

[AimeeLynn]

I hated the book =P

[michellerrific]

At first it was okay but now that I'm reading A Tale Of Two Cities i have come to realize that it was actually a pretty good book.

[alysaphobia]

I liked it.
Sweet story, really. The movie was actually okay, to o.

[moorepocket]

watch the movie. DOn't read.

[hi-C]

A lot of books are better than Harry Potter.

[Phil2thejay]

Not a fan of the book.

[*SayBloodyMary*]

DUDE.

How can ANYONE not love this book?

Did you not UNDERSTAND the book?

[Phil2thejay]

DUDE.

How can ANYONE not love this book?

Did you not UNDERSTAND the book?

I understood it. Just isnt my type of book~

[marzipan]

DUDE.

How can ANYONE not love this book?

Did you not UNDERSTAND the book?

I know!!
I love this book!

It's a great storyline, and it has important morals to grasp from it.
It's my favorite book, along with the Harry Potter series.

[LennonLime]

Interesting book...I liked it when we read it for school....

[31miracles]

everyone in my school district has to read it 8th grade

pretty good book
I felt that the discrimination could have been exaggerated more

[HelloSunshine]

I'm reading it over the summer.

I've heard it's a pretty good book..

[1angel3]

^yep it is a good book

[xoxo_proud]

I loved the book. Didn't like the movie

[*SayBloodyMary*]

^ Really? Gregory Peck? Classic...

[trulyandnever]

I read the book.. it was alright- but nothing too special. I dont get what the big deal with it is.

[AddenLee]

liked the book, hated the movie.. dotn care for harry potter... im nmore of a Tolkien reader, but TKAM i liked alot. the naration voice is what i liked

[YourSuperior]

I read the book and I've seen the movie. I love them both. I like black and white movies.

[DarkImpressions]

Ive seen this movie before.

[volcom02]

ha this was the last book we read in school it was alrite
good thing we didn't have time to read the full version :p
we read a shortened version!

[Gigi]

Yes I've read it last year for school. I think it's amazing. The movie was amazing, too, partly because Gregory Peck was perfection in it. Usually I hate all the novels that I'm forced to read in high school (I've read a bunch of crap over the years in my English Honours classes, no less), but To Kill a Mockingbird was the only one I've ever enjoyed.

It's one of those books that carries you throughout your life, and contains important lessons and morals that you can apply forever, which is why it's still a classic today and will continue to be a part of classic literature in the future.

[*MyMichelle*]

I don't think this book is better than HP; I thought it was just the same level as the other school books we've had to read.

[lkajsfklajskds]

i read it. in the fifther grade, actually (i know, what a bookworm, right?) it was pretty good in my opinion, didnt like movie as much. not a huge harry potter fan but in a way i would say it is better than harry potter. i dont understand why people are so upsest with harry potter. there are thousands of books just like it elsewhere. most are even better. personally, i like the books that arent as well-known =]

[taurus4321]

i loved this book!

[pinacoolada]

Amazing book. I read it in 8th grade.

[tokyo-rose]

I read it for school in seventh grade. It's pretty good, but I don't remember that happens it it.

[vietbabiiix3]

Hehe, I read this book in school. I thought it was interesting because we actually went into depth about the deeper meanings and morals of the book. However, if I were to read it outside, I think it would have been a dud.

[xhidethedetails]

We had to read it in English.
I wasnt a huge fan of it really.

[jeSs1cA]

i hated that book!

[1angel3]

I don't know why people make a big deal out of harry potter niether because for some reason my mom is against it. I read it but I enjoyed To Kill A Mocking Bird better because I can relate to it more. Plus Harry Potter books are to long. I guess I don't have the patience.

[heyyfrankie]

now, i wouldn't go as far as to say that it's better than HP, but yes it was pretty good. :xD:hahah
i actually like it, alot. and the book was better than the movie, IMO...but that's usually the case when it comes to movies based on books.

[jennyjenny]

... how does harry potter compare with to kill a mockingbird?

we read to kill a mockingbird freshman year. compared to julius caesar, our town, and mythology, it was considered an up-to-date book in our curriculum. i didn't too too hot on the quizzes though.

[xLINDAAA]

yep i had to read it for my english class. and at first i thought it would be pretty boring.
but it's actually really really good. i watched the movie too, and that was pretty good too. but i couldn't say that it's better than harry potter xD

[ashxx69xbaby]

i read the book && seen the movie! it made me like reading a lil bit more and it gave me and some of my classmates a good insite on life as we get older and out in the so called "real world"

[marzipan]

I don't really think you can compare the book to Harry Potter. They're about two totally different things.

[1angel3]

I wasn't comparing them, That's just my opinion. I don't expect you to feel the same way. These are just books I read and I happen to like To Kill A Mocking Bird better. I can relate to it better. Maybe I shouldn't bring up Harry Potter, and I wasn't a big fan of fantasy books anyway.

[blacknailpolish]

Um...why are we talking about Harry Potter now?

Anyway, this was one of my mom's favorite books/movies, so she made me read it in like the fifth grade, and actually it was really quite good. But yeah I don't know why we're comparing it now to HP. Can we try going through one topic in this forum without bringing it up, please? I just looked at one of the topics about Twilight and even there they brought up HP. People, if you want to talk about Harry Potter there's a whole other topic just for that. Go there, please and thank you.

[aznxRawr]

I read it in 7th grade. Amazing book

[Jeng]

I've read it for summer reading I think, or was it in school, doesn't matter but I also saw the movie, pretty good. I thought it was one of the best books I've read from school.

[lostgrl16]

i read this in hs, cant remember the story at the moment LOL i have a couple storylines floating around in my head but its about a little girl, her brother, crazy guy? i think lol since i recognized the name, probably means i read the whole story. been meanin to go back and read it again, probably should start since im looking for a book to read now lol

[emazing]

I've read this; it was mandatory for our English class though. Definitely a tearjerker, and it became one of my favorite books when I was done with it.

[Crash2]

I read this freshman year and thought it was good. I haven't seen the movie though

Go read the first post

[courtn3y]

I have and I loved it.

[Relentless]

I read this book in freshman year. It was okay. Then after we finished it, we saw the B&W movie of it. o.O

[LadyXTor]

I loved this book so much.

[hollywoodpink]

I read it for school in seventh grade, I think. It was pretty good but I wouldn't read it again, not my kind of book.

[smileeetina]

Hated this book.

[secretwish]

i read half of it. it was okay.

[teishya]

Had to read it Freshman year. At first I hated it, but then I learned to like it. Enjoyed it actually. haha. Not so much the movie though, comes in handy for SAT essays. (: Atticus ftw!

[VaeVictis]

I keep meaning to read it, but never really get around to.

I've seen the movie so I know what it's about, but I'll get around to reading the book someday ^ ^

[*SayBloodyMary*]

Oh you SO should get round to it... Really, I can't recommend it highly enough.

I'm naming one of my children Jem, and the other Holden. Well, OK, no I'm not, but I would.

[blacknailpolish]

^ I might make one of my kid's middle names Atticus...he's the best character of all time, if you ask me.

[Joss-eh-lime]

It was kind of boring.
The message from it was good, but it wasn't at all a fun read for me.
I was forced to watch the movie, to complete a project.

[1angel3]

You know what it's a book i would never pick up if the school didn't make me read it but of all literature's I read in school, this was the best book in my opinion.

[Amay]

I didn't like it.
I actually don't like any of the required books we had to read, except for Les Miserables.
I loved the condensed version of that book.

[Sandraaa]

My sister bought it and just recently finished reading it. According to her, it was great. I'm too lazy to pick it up.

[TaintedSakura]

it was really hard to understand... I didnt like the accents if that made sense?.. lol

[Sandraaa]

I finished it today! Haha. It was WONDERFUL! I loved it completely. Although Boo Radley gave me the creeps.

[holdinon2me]

I thought it was a pretty good book considering i had to read it for school and most of the books they make us read have been terrible

[iinstantGLAM]

I read it before and watched the movie.
In the end of September, all the FBLA members had to read a certain amount of chapters in the mall.
We were right in front of Victoria's Secret doing this.
I was so embarrassed to get up the podium in front of everyone, especially with our t-shirts. They made them so ugly lol.
I felt so stupid. All I was thinking about was the microphone messing up.

[brooklyneast05]

one of my favorites

[sugalove1215]

we had to read it for school. it was completely boring in my opinion...

[brooklyneast05]

maybe u just didn't get it

[1angel3]

I finished it today! Haha. It was WONDERFUL! I loved it completely. Although Boo Radley gave me the creeps.

Yeah Boo Radley was weird.

maybe u just didn't get it

Yeah I agree. Did you skip some chapters?

[shoryuken]

[Luna5]

I read that book when I was 16 in English Class. I really like it and I liked the movie too.

[Leosageheart]

I enjoyed this book actually.

[Simba]

Tim Johnson was my favorite character.

[deplorable]

Tim Johnson was my favorite character.

same here. loved that book way back in gr. 9. sometimes i reread it.

[miszxjojo]

haha. i have to read this book now for school[x

[barbieeedollxo]

i hated it so freakin much. lol
i love to read but i couldn't make it thru this book.

[rnicron]

I actually really liked this book. We read it my freshman year, and although I haven't read it since, I can still remember bits and pieces of it. I think it's the only book I enjoyed reading in high school.

Isn't this like the 2nd best selling book, next to the bible?

I even had fish named Scout and Atticus. Atticus died the first time I cleaned the tank, then Hitler and Scout ate Henry Ford, then Scout died, so now I'm just left with Hitler and I haven't cleaned the tank since.

[EddieV]

I read this in 7th grade. I didn't really seem to interest me till last year though.

[xCutUpAngelxxx]

I don't honestly see how you can compare To Kill a Mockingbird to the Harry Potter series.

But, I had to read it in 7th or 8th grade (don't remember which).It was pretty good.Some parts were a little hard for me to understand at first, but it wasn't boring or anything.
I didn't like the movie, though.

[MissHygienic]

Read it. Put it down, and then never picked it up again. It's not the best book in the world, and I wouldn't put it on my list of good reads.

[RealTalk]

It's defiantly one of the best book I've read for required reading.

[freeridefight]

I hated it

hitler's still alive. creepy.


to kill a mockingbird WAS a great book.
i think i`ll re-read it.

[Teesa]

It's definitely one of my favorite books. I just loved the story!

[illriginal]

I hated it... only because I was forced to read it and do a book report on it -.-

[angelaaa92]

i read it for school when i was in 7th grade. i liked it. it was the best book we read all year. i also liked the movie, which we watched in school.

[Just_Dream]

I remember I enjoyed reading it back in 8th grade, but sadly I don't much from it. That's what happens when I read books for school projects and such. Except Animal Farm and The Jungle. Oh man those two were fun to read. :P


I think To Kill a Mockingbird was a very mature book at the time that I read it.. There were so many ambiguous implications. :P

[fosheezy]

i enjoyed the book & the movie.
when i read it 2 years ago,
i thought that the beginning was a bit boring,
but once i kept reading because i had to for school,
i started liking it.
it was pretty good :D

[illriginal]

I read this book and I hated it. Only because at the time I was a hardcore mythology book worm and my stupid teacher gave us the assignment to read the book and turn in a book report =\

I don't take orders all that well in school, I hated being told what to read, what chapters to read, when to read them, bah!

Merge my post please -,-

[Archana]

the book was amazing! i wouldn't say the plot was too great, kind of cliche in my opinion, but the style of it was really well portrayed. telling it from scout's point of view was perfect! i loved the description of summer days, and i loved the scenes with dill :) it reminds me of youth.

[austinoutloud]

I was so about to make a thread about this. Until I saw this one. But yeah, we JUST finished reading it today. I actually thought it was really good; I haven't really enjoyed a book that I was forced to read in a while. But seriously, it was actually really funny...

Things I remember from the book...

"I ain't ever heard of no (negro) snowman!"

"The Methodists had to pay off their church dues, so they challenged the Baptists to a game of touch football."

LMAO.

[Heartourbeat]

ah i didnt like it at all. i guess i just cant get into that kind of thing..lol

[xhidethedetails]

We had to read it in 9th grade. Not my type of book.

[pointeitoutx3]

i just read it in my freshman english class. it's great!

[Glamourouz]

I read this book in 9th grade and I loved it

[laurellesions]

i read it in sixth grade and then read it for required reading this year. i love it.

[pandemonium]

i read it during sophomore year but it didn't looked interestig at all, so i stopped paying attention to it
