The book was pretty good, overall since it is finally over.

The last couple chapters were the most interesting since they finally introduced Mr. Arthur “Boo” Radley. About time too, cause in the middle of the book they left him out for a long time, then finally the author added him back in. I was wondering why the kids stoped pestering him cause they wasted a whole summer tryin to get him out of the house.

The chapter I liked was when scout was the ham, it was pretty funny since she had to dress up as a ham for a school project to show to the whole town, I thought when she fell asleep and finally got on stage at the end of the performance was hysterical. Then Boo finally came, he killed Mr. Bob Ewell cause he started to attack the children, Mr. Ewell did succeed in hurting them<He broke Jems arm and tried to get Scout(Her ham costume protected her)> but Boo came and killed him with a kitchen knife so Mr. Ewell wouldnt do any more damage.

These last chapters of the book had been very good and made me wish that there had been more of the book left.  It would have been nice if they had a continuation of it.  Also I think it is very funny that scout had to become the ham and she had to forget to come out on cue. Also she had been very lucky that she had not taken the costume off when Jem had suggested of her to do.  I also thought that Mr. Ewell had been very bad and should of stayed alive so that he could of gone to jail, but it would of have meant that Jem and scout would of probably have died. But I wonder why Atticus still wanted to say that Jem had been the one to stab Mr. Ewell even though he knew there was no way that he would be able to stab him especially after knowing that Mr. Ewell had hurt his kids to get back at him. I think that it had been wrong that Mr. Ewell had done what he had done and had not thought of his kids in who will be left behind to thrive on their own. Also it had been very nice that the sheriff had told Atticus that Mr. Ewell had died by falling on his knife but I also think that both of them were stubborn to stay to the idea of how Ewell had died.  It’s sad that this book end but the author was really good other than he first few chapters and the way it had ended did not feel like it fully had been completed.
