"This is a decent biography of Lee. I enjoyed finding out about all the correlations between the novel and her own life. I also found it interesting that the movie initially had more of the children's adventures, but that they were left on the cutting room floor after Gregory Peck insisted that Atticus be featured as a heroic character in the film. The section on Lee's time in Kansas with Truman Capote closely mirrors events in the bio movie on Capote, which leads me to believe the author's gotten his facts straight. Overall, a worthwhile read if you know and love the novel and are willing to get by with what's out there on Harper Lee. At least the biographer seems to have had benevolent intentions."

By Audrey, Carbondale, CO

"Although the famously reclusive Harper Lee did not authorize the book, Shields provides a sympathetic and balanced portrayal of the author. Similarities between her family history in Monroeville, Alabama and the fictional Finch clan of Maycomb, Alabama are shown, including paternal role model A.C. Lee's transformation into the hero of Atticus. Other influences include childhood friend Truman Capote, a high school English teacher, and her dedicated agent and editor. Lee may have had trouble fitting in with her peers in school, but she managed to gather a supportive group of friends and advocates who were instrumental in the success of her only book.

At times this almost 300 page work seems padded with a few too many details about people and events on the periphery, but Shields handles the fluff with an artist's touch and eventually gets down to business in addressing the important topics of what happened to that second novel she claimed to be working on for so long and why she retreated to her hometown in Alabama."

By Chelsey Blair, Pensacola, FL

"Called "A portrait of Harper Lee" by the author, I would call this: "A portrait of Harper Lee, but not the details people really care about", but that's me. Honestly, it seems to be a little bit more about Truman Capote than his friend Nelle Harper Lee. Personally, I would have liked to spend a little less time in the novel talking about her time helping Capote with "In Cold Blood" I also thought that there was too much talk about the people that surrounded Lee.

I was interested in the little details about the similarities between Lee's childhood and the world of Maycomb she portrays in the novel; and the looks into the reasons that she did not write a second novel, but I also somewhat disapprove of the fact that the book was written directly against Harper Lee's wishes."

"Lots of background information about the research which Nelle did for Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" which he does not acknowledge in his book's dedication. Charles Shields writes about Nelle Harper Lee after much research and interviews with family and friends who knew her. Very interesting that she never published another book and the insight we gain from Shields examination of why not. I would, like so many others, love to meet and talk with her. He does paint a masterpiece of why Miss Lee has been so private and content with the success of her first and only novel and gives the reader a respect for her privacy and choosing the lifestyle which suited her. I wish I had her gift for words and story-telling at its highest level."
