Ditto this. I thought both were quaint but boring. Floating around on a raft and finding your Dad dead is not that scintillating. As court room dramas go TKAM was pretty lame. Tom Sawyer was a lot more interesting vs HF and even "A Time to Kill" by lame-o Grisham was more interesting than TKAM. Maybe not better written but...
In TKAM's defense there is not a better name for a kid in literature than "Scout". Gotta' love that.
