Re: Harper Lee has a new book out SPOILER

hmmmm.........i always looked at AF as an idealized portrait.  from what i am reading of the 1st book, it seems a bit more reflective of a changing society's contradictions.

Re: Harper Lee has a new book out SPOILER

just a fyi.......toward the top of the text box, five figures in, there is a spoiler feature. one of the new features they added to improve the boards when you click on it a gray box will open up and you can write the spoiler in there also......it has to be clicked on to be seen.

 

 

Spoiler
very easy to use......love this new feature. i also think it is good to put the word SPOILER in the thread title, just in case.

click on my spoiler link to see what i posted. no, it has nothing to do with the new book.

Re: Harper Lee has a new book out SPOILER

Darn!  I read this before you put the SPOILER in your title.  I preordered it awhile ago.  Is it out yet?  It'll be downloaded into my Kindle library when available.  I loved TKAM, the book and the movie.  As a matter of fact, I was going to re-read TKAM, then read the new (or old it seems).  Loved the actor playing Atticus Finch. Can't remember his name as I'm typing this.  They don't make actors like him anymore!

That was Gregory Peck played Atticus Finch... wonderful casting.

How do you know all of this Cherry, if you haven't read the book and do not plan to read the book?????

 

I read the first chapter which was online, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book!  

 

How do you know Atticus was a racist???  Because you read that someone said he was???

 

ETA:   I cannot believe you all are taking her word for this book without reading yourself  .........  so many "close-minded" people here!!!

I don't happen to be a close-minded person, Hooty, and I don't think the others are on this thread are either.  Give us some credit for goodness sake.  I was on the fence about reading the book but more than likely I will & make my own opinion. 

 

Why on earth the first chapter was released is beyond me, I think it was wrong.
