It is a lovely book. I'd have been quite happy to have studied it in English. I remember doing To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee and loved it, thankfully. The only books I didn't like which I studied at school were Shakespeare!
I nearly put TKAMB on my list but since I only read it the once and it was around 25 years ago I left it off.
i get so bored with it.at least some shakespeares a bit violant and corrupt and stuff.'lovely' isnt my thing really.i think we're doing blood brothers or of mice and men next year so that cool
