All in all it is a good book, but as compared to the introduction and to the praise it gets, for me it was a nice book, maybe very revolutionary when you think about the time when it was written, but compared to a lot of books nowadays, it is a good read, just worth the while,but not much more than a cultural interest and a nice way to see the thought of those times.

We read it aloud together. It was interesting and we enjoyed the ending (though we saw it coming). Showed a mish mash of religious thought, but gave me a chance to explain some things to my son about how people misuse Christian thought and the Bible.

OK it was a good book over all, but when i started reading the book it was a bit frustrating how it moves from scene to the next with out no warning, and i think it could be a better book with out revisiting the past so many times. and the last part of the book about the girl reunites with family was just too unreal, if you look at the odds and the moral of the book.

After i got use to it IT WAS FUN READING.

I liked the humor and flashback stories of Scout's younger days.  Not as well written as To Kill a Mockingbird

It was awesome! All of the kids in our class loved it. It was one of the best books we've ever read. It was an unusual book. We would like to read it again.

Bought it for my Grandson. He's three months old, and they will start reading this book as he gets a little older. I thought it was a good book.

Back in 1954, when this book first came out, I was 12 and still struggling with learning to read.  Our next door neighbor, a printer who worked in Philly, brought a copy home and gave it to me.  I enjoyed the book and it was one of the things that cemented in my mind the idea that gaining freedom is sometimes hard work--and to many people well worth the hard work and danger.  I think it was one of the things that helped point me toward my career in the Air Force.

And, it was an exciting adventure.

I would recommend this book for those who are in the 12 year age bracket as a way to step up.

Interesting - if you have a scout troop - this is a must

Probably now out of print, this book is aimed at young readers and has some reasonably interesting and non-controversial stories.  We read from this book in grade school at the choice of our student teacher.  I still remember feeling cynical when she announced to our reading group that WE chose this book, when actually she chose it (or perhaps her and our regular teacher).  Still, it wasn't that bad a book.  I ended up liking some of the short stories in the book, many of which dealt with the lives of kids.

I read portions of this book in 6th grade (1976 ) and it came to mind again when a good friend mentioned how much she had  enjoyed it back then. I bought it for her birthday, and she was overjoyed.

We used this book when my son was going through a bite it all phase. It was good, and we certainly used it to kick off discussions. It is not terribly entertaining, so isn't a frequent re-read. He's now older and we will pass it on.

This book was assigned reading in high school in the late 60's. I enjoyed it then. Reading it again was nostalgic.

HI, I'm 9 and I think it was a good book and I think you should make a second book if you already have not.''''''''

My daughters both were Brownies and Girl Scouts before we moved.  When they saw this book they asked if we could review it.  I found it to be easy-to-read and simple.  The girls found it a little bit boring, but still they were able to finish it.  I recommend every girl scout to read this book.
