Teen Book Review - To Kill a Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird is a story based on a court case between an African American man and a caucasian woman. The man is accused of a terrible crime and a brace citizen decides to help him and do the right thing. That citizens name is Atticus. Along his journey to help this man, he teaches his children, Jem and Scout, valuable lessons. Jem and Scout learn about standing up for what you believe in, and not to listen to what others think about you. This book truly teachers a lot of life lessons.

I rated this book a 3 (out of 5) because I wasn't very intrigued until the end of the book. I felt that in the beginning it wasn't very captivating for a young reader. There wasn't much action until the actual court case. I also felt like the court case was dragged on too long. Overall, I learned a lot from the book, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have wished for.
