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, available now for the first time as an e-book. 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 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.

Best book written in the American voice.
A classic that is well worth the read
One of my favorite books…
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? This one is a classic, and rightfully so. I think readers come away more empathetic people and realize we’re all just folks.
One of the best books I’ve read. Have read it a number of times and enjoyed it every time.
This is a classic. I read it in high school back in the sixties and humanity hasn’t improved much since. Especially lately.
One of the best books ever!
This is to date my favorite book and movie.
Im Southern. I grew up with both a Mom and Dad and 3 younger siblings. My Dad worked for a oil pipeline co. He taughț us about how to treat people of a different more personally than defending them in court. See also A Time to Kill. He went on a rescue mission to bring home 3 school friends – one a black woman who he put in thecfront seat. …
Classic!
This classic should be read by everyone. It has it all.
“To Kill a Mockingbird” was definitely one of my favorite books that I have ever read. Harper Lee gave the world one of the most readable, memorable works of fiction ever written. I have often thought back to this book, its wonderful characters, and the sultry, realistic view of the way thing were in the South during this period of history. …
To Kill a Mockingbird doesn’t need my recommendation but I’ll give it anyways. I love this book. Even as a kid I found Atticus to be inspiring, a paragon of virtue in a world that wasn’t ready for him. I hope one day people will look back on this book and say “Wow, we were really like that? I’m glad it’s different now…” because we are still …
I’m writing a review for this classic book because it is the standard I use for rating all books I read. I read this book for the first time as a teenager decades ago. To this day it is the 5-star book that sets the bar. The writing is excellent. While the subject is serious, the story is a joy to read. I have enjoyed many books over the years, …
Should be on everyone’s must-read list.
One of the best books I ever read.
This is just one of the classic books that you must read. This literally classic never gets old and is something I love to read again every now and then.
A classic read!
I was drawn to Scout’s innocent opinions and actions which are based on justice. I felt horrified to learn how racism has taken over the whole community over what’s right as a human being. As we should not repeat the history like this, everybody read this book and learn about the social justice. I was also impressed with what Scout’s father …
Scout is my favorite person because she’s so realistic and yet she’s still a child
