To Kill a Mockingbird

While the plot was very gripping and well-written, the book didn't actually instruct me on how to kill a mockingbird. I bought this book intending to do away with this obnoxious bird that's always sitting in my backyard and making distracting noises. I had hoped this book would shed some light on how to humanely dispose of the bird, but unfortunately it was this story about a lawyer and a falsely-accused criminal. As I said, the plot is great but nowhere in the book does it say exactly how to kill a mockingbird.

In Dutch it’s translated as ‘spaar de spotvogel’ aka ´let the mockingbird live’
I do agree, I do not see what the title had to do with the book!
This is the only 1 star review I’ll get behind for this book lol
it never said How to kill a mocking bird, it said To kill a mocking bird
the book title is based on the metaphor "to kill a mockingbird". All a mockingbird does is sing, and to kill it is the same as putting an innocent man in jail.
Success Kid, if you read the book you should realize what the whole point of the book was and not have to ask if there was a bird or not
To be fair, it's not called How to Kill a Mockingbird.
Just you wait, one day you will figure out how to kill that mockingbird... 😂
Some people need to read up on how to lighten up and take a facetious review for exactly what it is
I am curious about your thoughts on Wolf of Wall Street..
This made me laugh thanks for posting!
IKR, I want to know how to kill a mocking bird too but clearly Harper Lee is clickbating us
This cracked me up real good 😂😂😂
It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. Duh!

The novel's title comes from a conversation between Atticus and Scout where Atticus states that “it's a sin to kill a mockingbird” because they simply sing their song and never harm others. The mockingbird is used as a symbol for Robinson, who was innocent and never hurt anyone, yet was shot dead.Reference: banned books
