As for unrealistic that's why it's called fiction. However, I agree with you that many rapes go unreported. There was recently a case of rape either at a high school or college where the teachers and parents took that laissez fare attitude. The accused were sports stars and the girl was in the school band. The incident happened during an away. The side of the sports stars were taken as the they "could do no wrong" attitude. Sad there wasn't a Mockingbird group on campus.

I gave it a pretty good review, but I dunno if I feel the same now.

I can definitely see how the lack of school involvement and authority involvement in pursuing Alex's case would be a bit problematic, but everything else sounds brilliantly done'Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-74105328255201525782011-09-22T10:39:10.621-05:002011-09-22T10:39:10.621-05:00I enjoyed Mockingbirds and was one of those who fe...I enjoyed Mockingbirds and was one of those who felt that the lack of adults or authorities hindered my appreciation for it. I also thought the subplot of the romance didn't really add anything to the story but I did like the idea of students helping each other out in difficult situations. Did you know that the book was inspired by the author's real life experiences in college?Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-17997211954879351362011-09-22T10:37:25.925-05:002011-09-22T10:37:25.925-05:00Hmmm..

I remember one in particular that turned me off, and I think what you touch on, the unrealistic aspect, is what did it, but your review has me reconsidering. Thanks for your objectivity.

I really liked the book and the fact that it didn't shame the victim, rather it empowered her. I agree, though, that some things were a bit unrealistic.
