SO! i read this for a school assignment! i thought it would be a total dud...i was WRONG!!!! 
 I thought it was really good!!! i really liked the plot. i liked the way it wasnt just about one thing...like in the beggining it was all about boo radley and the kids trying to get him to come out and all. 
 But as the story progressed i found that the plot was gradually becoming more about tom robinson and his trial... 
 BTW: just to let you all know: i cried in one part near the end, also just letting you know that im in the 8th grade...i finished this book the weekend i got it, 2 weekends ago...and the class is on chapter 8...so while they all have to follow along in class. im on to the worksheet...just saying
