I really liked the book, thought I'm not sure I'd make the leap of comparing it to To Kill a Mockingbird. I've not read Curious Incident of the Dog, so I don't know how it compares there. But I really did enjoy Romans.
Anyway, my review is ... it back up with more questions.

It sounds similar to the cover I have for To Kill a Mockingbird but I don't think that's right... going to go do some hunting... Reave the Just after burning through to kill a mockingbird in a day.
#201 comparative re-read! wow. How do you do that? read them side by side, or finish one first and then the other or ??? To Kill a Mockingbird is read and my review joins the other 223 of this great work.
Shootingstar: how about The Alcestiad just because it's a got a strange name and isn't reviewed by anyone.
For me please choose anything not tagged unowned.
#31 - To Kill a Mockingbird tops my lists for Best Book I Was Ever Required to Read, Best Book I Read While In High School, and quite possibly Best Book I've Ever Read In My Life Thus Far. :) ... a book at lunchtime that made me tear up - I don't think many of my co-workers saw me, but it's embaressing all the same. to Kill a Mockingbird was to blame - The fire and then Mrs Dubois does it every time. ... are for non-fiction on the same subject as a novel (for instance, recommending Scottsboro Boy to people who liked To Kill a Mockingbird), and vice versa. |
