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.

Loved it
I loved this book when I was a kid, and I haven't read it for a long time, but nonetheless I though I would be revisiting i already knew. What i discovered on the other-hand was that Sissy Spacek's narration added a new dimension to the story that made me fall in love with the characters it all over again.

Sublime
Where does To Kill a Mockingbird rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the most exquisitely crafted tales I've ever read.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The character of Atticus is a hero of integrity and grit, but the teller of the tale - Jean-Louise (Scout) - is so accessible and honest that it's hard to not love her.
Have you listened to any of Sissy Spacek’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Sissy Spacek's delivery is perfect for this story.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I cried and laughed and cried again. I was spellbound. The language is so carefully constructed that you are totally drawn in to a kind of nostalgia. Although, the childhood described in the tale was very different from my own, the incredibly vivid prose and the naive quality of the main character made me feel like I was reliving my own.
Any additional comments?
A powerful, poignant classic, expertly read.
