General Comments

I bought To Kill a Mockingbird about 20 years ago, put it on a shelf and never got round to reading it. I am without a doubt guilty of neglecting a wonderful piece of literature, however now I have read it.
This is a wonderful book which I would recomend to everyone, told through the eyes of a little girl it's a story about her Dad. I dont want to say much more about the story because for some it might spoil the read. Just to say, 20 years older still I cried reading some passages. At times during my lunch break I couldn't put the book down but had to. There are many other books in the world that become best sellers and perhaps for all the wrong reasons, but this book was a best seller for all the right reasons. It's the kind of item you'd put on a list of things to do before I die.
