Harper Lee

Advantages: frankness
Disadvantages: few

...This is one of the classiest books to come out of America in the history of the written word. There is humour as well as tragedy in this book and in spite of the tears and prejudice there is a faint note of a hope for human nature. Harper Lee is a master of characterisation bringing not just a few characters to life through he great use of language and realism, but she manages this with an entire town. Unfortunately many people will be acquainted with the book simply because they had to read it at school, this does not mean that it should not be reread and enjoyed this time round.... Read review

...Title: To Kill a Mockingbird Author: Harper Lee,review I thought this play was extremely interesting,it conveyed the relationships between people with different cultural boundaries,and as well as differences in skin color. The story is set in the 1930s in a small American town called May comb in the state of Alabama. This is a novel based upon the underlying themes of prejudice, discrimination and the corruption of the exploiters exploiting the exploited. The black figure is predominantly the subject of oppression. I would agree with the examiners boards that this book is very educational,not only is it a great text to study but is also very enjoyable. In total this play seemed to be taken a great interest by the readers and by me.... Read review

Advantages: storyline,charactarisation,hillarity,and complex feelings
Disadvantages: none

...When I first started to read this book, it was mainly character based, and slightly boring, but when I got into the book I found it brilliant, the cross between 3 young children's adventures and the difficult topic of racism and bigotism in the deep south of america really provoked deep feelings of both joy and sadness.This book really shows Harper Lee's fantastic talents and complete understanding into the opinions of a whole generation, and maybe what community life and the way children see things really are, and how children always see the best in people is the way Harper Lee wished the world to be.This book is both enjoyable, entertaining and touching a classic novel for all.A must read!...
