A Masterpiece
To
Kill
A
Mockingbird
is a masterpiece work of American literature. It is sad and both wonderful, and documents the lives of two children living in the south. Not only does it document their lives, but it documents the trial of a black man accused of rape. It's a wonderful book that everybody should own and read.
very happy reader
This book is one of my favorites and I was happy to find it in large print and share it with a friend. Thanks for you!

Another American Classic
I came to the American classics later in life (in my 30s), which was a good turn, as I discovered, by reading "To
Kill
a
Mockingbird
."
As a student, I didn't read for pleasure, so I looked at book assignments like work. Now that I have time, I really enjoy books like Harper's, which so easily slide you into confrontations of social consequence and make you think and decide where you stand.
I listened to "To Kill A Mockingbird" on tape and the performance (by a woman) was riveting. As an aspiring author, I would love to write like Harper Lee, so casual and calm in her manner, she took me to Macon, Alabama on the rails of her southern prose.
And Atticus Finch is a character whose character every statemen should aspire to.

To Kill a Mockingbird Doesn't Kill!
A popular classic is one way to describe the awesome novel To
Kill
a
Mockingbird
. Everybody should read this novel because it is so interesting and it really is important. And a bonus- IT'S NOT BORING! Which is good because usually it seems books that are required reading are kind of boring. But not To Kill a Mockingbird.
The novel takes place in a small fictional southern town called Maycomb, Alabama set during the depression. A family lives there that consists of a widowed father, Atticus Finch, an older brother, Jem Finch, and a younger girl named Scout Finch. The father is a lawyer and he takes on a case about an African American man who has supposedly raped a white girl. Not to give away the ending I have to stop my summary there. But the book goes on about a detailed trial of the man. Another subject the story talks about is the Finch's neighbor- Boo Radley. He is a mysterious man who never comes out of his house and has terrible rumors going around about him. Scout and Jem and a friend they make named Dill make it their mission to see Boo.
The only downer to the novel is that the beginning doesn't make much sense. But don't stop because the end brings it all together. I hope you enjoy the novel if you decide to read it! Happy reading!

Good Book
I had to read 9 books for a class this semester and this was the last book. I was burnt out on reading and I could not get into it. This let me listen to it on the way to school and it honestly made me like it much better than when i was actually reading it. The womans voice is very nice and she makes it feel like you are there. I enjoyed this book very much!
