'It's a sin to kill a mocking bird.'

This has most definitely been my favorite book to read for Honors 10...and we're not even done with it! It has kept my attention throughout the whole first part. I love the writting; it uses enough 'old time' language and enough modern day language that it's easy to understand. It also is interesting. The things that these kids, Scout, Jem and Dill go through are things that we, today, would never go through, but at the same time, they're exactly what we would go through. I think that's why it's so easy to read. I, personally, can relate each character to someone in my life, which makes the reading process so much easier. I'm very excited to find out more about the mysterious Radley house, and hear about Dill, Scout and Jem's new summer together. This has been the best book, so far, because of the way the author grabs my attention and the different situations he puts the kids, and even adults, into, that are easy to relate to.
