My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. It and Frankenstein are the only books that I have read more than just once. Atticus Finch is my favorite character in any book or any movie/television show. His character is very honest and upright. He teaches his kids, Scout and Jem, a bunch of really good lessons in the book. He also represents a black man in a rape case when no one else is willing to. His good character permits him to see past black and white and focus on helping the innocent Tom Robbins in a time in this country, especially the South, when blacks were not given the same rights as white people. To Kill a Mockingbird is a great read because it tells such a good story.
