Rating: 5

Can you believe that I made it through a bachelor's degree in English without having read "To Kill a Mockingbird"? I cannot believe that it took me so long to finally read this book. It's not like I avoided reading it, I just never thought to pick it up and read it until my younger sister assigned it to me (since it's her favorite book of all time).

I absolutely loved it. There's a reason that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a classic and should be read by all people. The writing is amazing, the story is fantastic, and the social lessons we learn are important as well. It is also a very succinct glimpse into the U.S. during the 1950s and 60s (at least I think so...I wasn't alive then to know how realistic it is or isn't).

Anyway, I highly recommend that you read "To Kill a Mockingbird" at your earliest convenience. Actually, no. Not at your convenience. I'm assigning it to you.
