I have just read To Kill A Mocking Bird. This was a excellent book that catches you with every page you read. This book was a wonderful setting in the early 1920’s. To Kill a Mockingbird was an absolutely astounding book. It showed what segregation and prejudice was really like in the olden days. During the beginning of the book it pretty much told what happened so far thought their lives. Jem was the son of Atticus Finch. The story is basically about this family and the town “outcasts” The Radleys. They were suposively the weirdo’s of the town because of rumors that have spread about the father killing his own son, and how he never ever comes out of his house. In the end of this book a black man Tom Robinson got convicted of raping a white woman and had to go to court. The kind man Atticus became his lawyer. He went to trial with no given chance to win because of the segregation in those days. Everyone was against him. I am not going to reveal what happened but it is a MUST READ in my book. This book was extremely interesting, though I would advise you to have a dictionary next to you for a couple parts of the book (like the 1st chapter) but overall it was interesting thought the whole book. It is just one of those that keep you going.
