• There's little I can add to what has been said many times before: this is a true human, not just American, classic which puts across its anti-racism message in a way that is simple and effective, without hectoring or lecturing the reader. It starts off slowly and quietly, which makes it all the more effective. I must admit I may never have read this unless I had seen the film first, but everyone in every country should both read the book and see the film if they can.

• I didn't get to study this in highschool, and it took me a long time to get around to it on my own initiative. I'm grateful I did; it's absolutely fantastic. Now I understand why the father character is often referred to as the epitome of good. Excellent, excellent, in story and message.

• I just finished To Kill A Mockingbird last night. Somehow I missed it as required reading in my education. I can see how this would be a great book to have to read while growing up especially as a white person. It's such an amazing example of the gross injustice pressed upon people for the sole and sickening reason of skin color. Many of our Pulitzer Prize winners tackle racism and slavery. I wonder if this 1961 winner was the first winner to do so?

• I originally read this book my Sophomore year of high school. Loved it then. About 5 years later now, read it again...still love it.
