In Search of Mockingbird

THE BEST BOOK OF 2007!

I thought this book had a real heart and soul to it that made me want to laugh and cry with Erin. My heart broke when the two kids pushed Epp down and called him a freak. I thought Sedushia betrayed Erin by making her talk to Boomer. I knew Erin could travel all the way to Alabama to make her dream come true. I love this book very much, and I know you will too.

Coming of Age Tale with a Unique Twist

Erin, on the eve of her 16th birthday, discovers the diary of her late mother that reveals her parent's teenage obsession with 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' and her desire, similar to Erin's, to become a writer. Erin impulsively begins a pilgrimage from Minnesota to Alabama by Greyhound to seek out Harper Lee, the reclusive author of 'Mockingbird.' Erin's adventures and the unusual characters she meets along the way keep the reader engrossed. Can be read independently of 'Mockingbird,' but will be a real treat for Harper Lee devotees.

An Okay Read

Okay, so I just put down this book. I read it in about 2 hrs. Not because I couldn't put it down or anything, but because I had nothing better to do. So here's what I think.
Character Development wasn't the best. Epp and Sedushia were described okay, and so was Erin, but the other characters were just random. ESPECIALLY Billy. I knew nothing about him except he was a Marine.
Another thing: Why did the author decide to set this in the 80's? I didn't even notice the 80's setting until halfway through the book. She made no time period references.
I HATED the ending. Erin's reaction to her chance encounter with harper Lee was pretty bad. She'd come all that way, and was soooo desperate to meet Harper Lee, and she didn't even seem excited!
Overall, this book was a quick okay read. I think that you have to know To Kill a Mockingbird to read this though. I recommend it to someone that just wants to read something.
