Product Description:
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 best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, served as the basis of 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.

This book, by Harper Lee is a true classic. Every character, every scenario is perfectly written. It's touching and heartbreaking at times, but the book ends on a note of hope. Even secondary characters have an unique personality, from Calpurnia, to the Cunningham's. Atticus Finch is truly a great lawyer, fair and just-which is proven at the end, when he doesn't want his own son, Jem, to have unfair protection against the law. He doesn't quite care about others opinions, and is able to see the ... Read More

I read this book while recovering from surgery. I loved it immediatly. It's an amazing story and the main character, Scout Finch, is incredible. I even named my kitten after her :). For those of you skeptical about reading this book (some of the many reasons why I decided to read this book had to do with negative feedback about it), I hope this will clarify its contraversial content.
The concept of rape in this story is necessary, given that it takes place in the south during times of racial ... Read More

I skipped reading this in high school, but I have recently decided to go back and read all of the books I should have already read. This was awesome. I don't think I would have fully understood it ten years ago. Truly eye-opening.

I honestly have no idea how many times I have read this book. I read it first as an assignment in the eighth grade; most recently, at the age of 41, I read it aloud to three of my children. As with the more recent readings that I recall, I choked up a bit at the end as Scout is experiencing the tragedy and love that surrounds her in the form of her conservatively eccentric father, her mythically reclusive neighbor, and the whole Depression-era, post-Reconstruction sugary gothic Alabama town of her home. ...

The New York Times feels that over the last twenty-five years the most influential book has been Toni Morrison's Beloved, over the last fifty years perhaps Ann Ryands Atlas Shrugged or Harper Lee's To Kill a Mocking Bird. First of the 5-6 different editions available to read on Amazon provide the best print and paper so its easy to physically read and wears well so it will last the test of time. This latter point is important for those who wish our young children to read the books of your own library. ... Read More
