The setting of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is in a small racist town, Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930's.

I love Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird that much, that every time I see a copy, whether at a car boot sale or a charity shop, and it's an edition I don`t have, I must buy it. It is arguably the best novel ever written.
It begins quietly, and the tension with Atticus and his children slowly builds up; much like Ravels Bolero, until the climax of the novel. There are definitely 3 parts to the story - It begins, then the middle ground, and then the endgame. It is a brilliantly conceived novel ...

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 time ...

Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee's moving and powerful novel deserves to remain as one of the most important 20th Century Classics. The moral story of a young girl named Scout and her understanding of the world she lives in attacks the prejudices of adulthood and the ignorance of man. The novel is centred on the issue of racism and the interaction of man with man. Exploring this theme, Harper views the world through the unprejudiced eyes of Scout and we watch as her views are shape ...
