Wow. A book about a rape with a truly frightening villain and a scary, housebound hero is dull? If it isn’t Texas Chainsaw massacre it’s boring?
I read it at 12 and never looked back. Didn’t understand what rape was, didn’t understand the famous tea party chapter but boy, did I know I was in the middle of a great read.
I agree 100%.
I was also about 12 the first time I read it.
To Kill a Mockingbird is an exciting book. It is one-sided propaganda, but still thrilling. The small town personalities are sharp and colorful.
Read the 1st chapter of Where the Red Fern Grows. Best single chapter of any book ever written IMO.
