Did you like the book? Why? After reading this book for the first time back in high school, my own choice I may add, I have had a fascination with this novel so I decided to read it again. The second time reading it felt like it took longer to read than the first time, even though I knew what was going to happen I wasn't that interested in racing to finish it. I blame this view on it being a re-read. I do love the quotes and morals in this story however. This is what made me want to read it again.
Was this book made into a movie? Yes, back in the 1960s starring Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch.
Would you recommend it? I would recommend it to a younger audience 14-17.
