This is me checking in. I've downloaded it to my iPhone and have read Chapter 1 which sounds like it might be a love story. I know it won't . Anyway , I've Googled Verbena and everything
I can't remember all but the bare bones of TKAM but I remember the character of Atticus and his daughter, from the film and I think the boork is about character and integrity from the blurb.

Re: Please "check in" here!
I read the book already. I could not help it. The first Chapter I think sets the tone of the book. You really don't have to remember too much about TKAM. I don't know how to do this discussion. Would like some tips.

I never read TKAM, so my impressions are/will be totally from the movie.

The movie is one of the closest film adaptations I've seen. You'll not be missing a beat by using the film version as a reference.Crystalline wrote:

LisaRose64 - Don't worry about not knowing how to do the discussion. Just jump in chapter by chapter and see what occurs to you. Everyone will be affected in a different way depending on age, gender, nationality, disposition....so your opinions will add to the diversity and enrich our understanding of the book and of each other.

Yes it is. A ding- dong is an sharp exchange of words. Quaint aren't I?

Very Cool. Here in the US Ding Dong is a snack cake, usually that kids eat. I am ashamed to say, I like them too.
