To Kill a Mockingbird (A BookHacker Summary)
Let€s be honest: sometimes you're asked to read an €œimportant€ book that you don't want or have time to read. Sometimes you try and it€s just so boring and impenetrable that you can€t get through it. And then, even worse, sometimes you€re asked to take a test or write a paper about it. If that sounds familiar, then BookHacker was designed for you.
BookHacker summaries strip away all the subtlety and stuffiness of literature€s classic works (100% €œthou€Â-free guaranteed) and get right to the point. Taking away all the guess work, BookHacker presents the book's warm gooey center in a concise, logical and entertaining way. Just because literary classics can be dry and boring doesn't mean understanding them has to be.
In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird, BookHacker gets to the essence of what€s going down in Depression-era Maycomb, Alabama. Told through the eyes of Scout Finch, whose youthful idealism is being chipped away by the evils of her small, Southern town, BookHacker walks you through a fight for justice her father Atticus cannot win. It's his unerring dedication to protecting the innocent (and his badass sniper skills) that gives her hope.
"I'm not going to lie--I used this to get out of having to read the book for class and it worked" Steven, 10th grade۬۬
€œBookHacker gave me exact details and plotting, EXACTLY everything I needed to get through a dry, tough book€ Rebecca, college freshmanÂ
€¨€¨€œThis was surprisingly cool and honest. Would I want my teachers to know I used it? No, but that's why it's worth buying." Andrew, 12th grade
