Publisher Description
Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great American Read
Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South—and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred
One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Harper Lee's thoughtful story of an explosive scandal in small-town Alabama has been an American classic since it came out at the dawn of the Civil Rights era—and its message of compassion feels just as vital today. Sissy Spacek narrates Scout Finch's coming-of-age discovery of racial injustice, loss, and compassion in a clear, soothing Southern accent. Spacek’s acting talents bring to life Scout's wide-eyed honesty and her father Atticus' clear-eyed wisdom, while also emphasizing Lee's sly humor.
Customer Reviews
Excellent!
Great reading of a classic book.
Near perfect narration
Best book of all time. So many layers to the work. More than a glowing reminiscence of growing up, these precocious child like observations of the world stand the test of time. Also, Sissy Spacek knocks it out of the park narrating nearly exactly the voice I had in my head for Scout as I read this wonderful book.
Good book, but left something to be desired
It started a little slowly, and the endearing was just sort of one thing after another. However the overall story telling, symbolism, representation of theme and characters are all fantastic! The reading was done exactly as well.
