To Kill a Mockingbird tells a descriptive, historical tale of two kids and their father as the children grow up in the small town of Maycomb. The book gives insight into how different kinds of prejudice affect the people around them and gives strong examples of how the black and white communities interact.

I enjoyed reading this book, as the author uses colourful descriptions and vivid real-life examples to get the reader thinking. The book seems to be based on the early years of the author’s life as she lived through this troubled time in American history. Once the reader gets into the details of the book it is impossible to put down. It leaves you with unanswered questions and makes you want more.

I would recommend this book to teens aged 14 years and older. It contains coarse themes and language that are not appropriate for young kids. I think that this book is appropriate for anyone over the age of 14, because it focuses on deep, interesting topics for the reader to think about.

This book reminds me of Animal Farm by George Orwell because of its deep messages and its common theme relating to a country’s history.
