to kill a mockingbird review



To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee.
genre: Fiction
time: 1930's
stars: 5

To kill a mockingbird is a classic. you'll want to reread it from chapter 1 to the end all over again!
I fell in love with the charatars, Atticus Finch a lawyer of maycomb county and his two kids Scout and Jem. And With Dill Harrison. its such a good book! I wish I could tell you more about the book but that would be giving it away.
you have to read it! and you'll love it I bet.
