About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
One of the greatest American novels ever written.
Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.
A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

My alltime favourite novel
I first read to Kill a Mockingbird in year 11 English in 1978, it has been my favourite novel and later favourite film (Gregory Peck!!!!). Now that I have listened to this book ... it is time to read it again : D

No wonder people told me to read it
Sissy Spacek was perfect narrator in that I didn't notice her putting on different voices.
It was beautiful to listen to, both the descriptions and the narrator.

Just so good in everyway
As a father of children basically the same age (primary school) it really got me in the feels at parts. Wonderful narration, story, lessons, everything. If you even consider getting this book, just get it.
