Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird'
Meet Scout, the narrator of this book. Her story is one of Deep South summers, fights at school and playing in the street. The spooky house of her mysterious neighbour, Boo Radley, sags dark and forbidding nearby. Her brother, Jem, and her friend, Dill, want to make Boo come outside.
Her story is about justice. When Scout's father, a lawyer, agrees to defend a black man against an accusation by a white girl, he must battle the prejudice of the whole town.
It's about imagination - not just the kind you need for childhood games. Because you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.

One-shot Lee

To reduce Harper Lee´s only published novel to a book about racism, would be a grave misinterpretion.
"To kill a mockingbird" revives not only the american south of the 20´s and 30´s through the honest and clear eyes of a child, Harper Lee´s book is also one of the best written novels I ever had the honour to encounter.
Reading the last 100 pages, I knew the characters so well I could foresee, what they would do.
When I lost the book in a plain, before finishing it, I could not sleep well, nor read any other book, for I felt, as if I lost a great and true friend.
To buy it a second time was only a matter of hours.
This book not only defines great writing for us, it states also the only true definitions of courage, honesty, true honour and being human.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a book that will stay in your thoughts for a very long time after you finish reading it. In the characters of Scout, Atticus and Boo Radley, Harper Lee has created icons of literature that will stay with all of us for generations. This book is my personal favourite and I would recommend it to everyone with a passion for books and a love of literature.

If somebody asked me about my fabourite books, I would say that this is definitely number one. I have never read anything that is more compassionate and warm than this book.
