There is so much about it to appreciate from the characters to the writing style to the story itself. I absolutely agree with you that Atticus is the ideal man. I really liked the scenes in the movie when Atticus is sitting and talking with Scout. Makes my heart melt. Gregory Peck was amazingly well cast, too and the movie is quite good. I always prefer the book just because I prefer books but the people who worked on the movie did a wonderful job.<br /><br />Thank you for a wonderful post!<br /><br />~ AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-46330225144284139892010-07-12T01:06:28.729-04:002010-07-12T01:06:28.729-04:00I just finished reading and listening to TKaM. I ...I just finished reading and listening to TKaM. I haven't written a review yet. I am so glad that I finally read it. Scout is just the most adorable little tomboy there ever was. I kept wondering about them calling their dad by his first name. I know some families are like that though. Did I miss something &mdash: as to why they did that? Many of the scenes described and conversations reminded me of my childhood. Sissy Spacek as Scout is phenomenal. She was great at the complete narration. I've got to read it again.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240426161600493554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-54533130878539707962010-07-11T15:39:53.262-04:002010-07-11T15:39:53.262-04:00Somehow I never had to read this in high school or...Somehow I never had to read this in high school or college and sadly I still haven't read it. But, since it is the anniversary, I plan to read it while we drive across the country for our vacation. I have also encourage our book club to read it in August since I know there are some in our club who haven't read it either. I am excited to read it in a couple weeks!Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222784959943882318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-63999344131925121592010-07-11T13:26:26.896-04:002010-07-11T13:26:26.896-04:00To Kill A Mockingbird is an all time favorite for ...To Kill A Mockingbird is an all time favorite for me as well, I re-read with my kids when they were assigned the book for class. I'll miss it when my last one finishes it. I guess I'm going to have to break down and buy my own copy!

It is hard to imagine that the experience of reading the book could be improved, but with Sissy narrating as Scout, it can. Highly recommended! My mom and I are planning on watching the movie soon!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-72609648024049695362010-07-11T11:08:12.032-04:002010-07-11T11:08:12.032-04:00My mother read us the book the year it was publish...My mother read us the book the year it was published or very soon thereafter.
