What do you, 29p, think? Is it a little too advanced? Maybe more suited to third year? Or are you well able for it? Leave your opinions in the comments below ...
Yesterday, we read the first few pages of 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I know we're not supposed to judge a book by its cover but we can judge from the first few pages whether or not we are able for the rest of it.

I think the book was OK and it has words that we don't know but we can write it at the back of our copy that way we learn new and advanced words for later essays or stories.

I think it is really good and we should keep reading it because we are learning loads of new vocab and lots of new words. It is really good and we should keep reading it.

I think that it is a good book from what we have read so far. There are a few harder words, but if they get explained and we are told the meaning of them then it will help us to improve our English.

I think that some of these words are to advanced and it is a bit difficult. But I like it so far and I think we should still read it.

I think this book is a good book so far. It isn't too advanced and I think our class is well able for it as we are in second year now and I think they're the type of books we should be reading.

I personally don't think that the book ' To Kill A Mocking Bird' is very advanced for us second years. It consist of a lot of hard grammar I don't understand and when it's being read out it all seems like a lot of foreign words. Although it is a very good book as others say , but for us second years it is way to advanced.

I think the vocabulary is too hard to understand, it's also very long. I think we would be better off reading an easier book.

Well I personal really dont want to read it! I think we should read something more interesting like Holes or I am David they sound better. I think that some of the words in To Kill a Mocking Bird is a bit to hard. I think we should read something that the words in it we understand and something we can enjoy :D

Sarah I think the other books are for younger children. I read holes about 3 years ago, but we are able for something way more advanced and learn new vocabulary at the same time too!

We both think that "To kill a mocking bird" is a well suitable book for our year. Although we would like to try the first few pages of another book. The start of the book is not to our liking but if we read a few more pages we do think that it will be good.

I think this would be a great book to read as there are good moral lessons and learning difficult words will help us to improve our English. It also looks interesting and many people say it's a great book.

It's a really good book and I think you guys should stick at it, you have a good teacher and I'm sure she can explain the tougher words in it.

I am a 5th year in the school. I have also studied to kill a mocking bird for my junior cert. I think that at the start its not too good but when you get into the swing of the book it's really intresting and found in my examine there was loads to write about for answering the questions. So i think you's should continue to read this book.
