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 =]

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.

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. |

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. |

... 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. |

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

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.

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. |

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.

 What a hypocrite. Group: Member Posts: 2,754 Joined: Apr 2005 Member No: 128,150 |
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.
