Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great American Read
"One of the most--if not the most--beloved of American novels." --The New Yorker
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 most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than fifty million copies worldwide, 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, Scout Finch, as her father, Atticus--a crusading local lawyer--risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward 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 and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justice--but the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

Great quality book was like new. Enjoyable read. I recommend it for everyone.
This is surely the best of the Great American Novels. You will not be disappointed by this book. Don't be mislead that it is only about the trial. While that is the pivotal moment, this book is a wonderful tale of life in the South in the Nineteen Thirties. It shows the development of its characters realistically and is simply a beautifully written story. It has the wondrous quiet humor of "Father Brown," "Tom Sawyer" and "True Grit." The latter two would certainly cout as a Great American Novel, but neither can surpass this masterpiece. It is often misunderstood as a simple story with the only one moral, or even banned for no good reason. As the author herself said, "Surely it is plain to the simplest intelligence that To Kill a Mockingbird spells out in words of seldom more than two syllables a code of honor and conduct, Christian in its ethic, that is the heritage of all Southerners. To hear that the novel is 'immoral' has made me count the years between now and 1984, for I have yet to come across a better example of doublethink." Probably the greatest fiction ever written, it is fitting the author wrote nothing else. You will not be disappointed by this book. You will read it again and again. It is truly amazing.
One of my all time favorite books. It's a classic, if you havent read it, you need to.
Most teens wouldn't think to pick up a book, much less an American classic, but this is my absolute favorite book of all time! It has been my favorite since I was 11. If you are going to read a classic, this is the one to read!!:) Perfect for every age and will be loved by all!!
This is a Masterpiece. I also have it on CD. A transition between children and their eyes and what's the right thing to do and say in Court. This could teach every American how to become one with everyone, in court as a neighbor regardless who and what you are. It breaks down the way the South was and how it can be as well as all of us. I truly love this book.
