To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Author: Harper Lee

Voted America’s Best-Loved Novel in PBS’s The Great American Read

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 forty 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.

Rereading this book as an adult made me realize how truly beautiful and wonderful it is. It will forever be one of my favorites. Maureen                                                                                                 rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Is it weird that to me, reading this book is like sinking into a warm bath? It’s an immensely comforting, beautifully written book that deals with big issues but never wears them on its sleeve. When I reread it last month I found little flashes of humor that had slipped over my head in my first reading (8th grade!). Few other books capture childhood so honestly. If you haven’t read it, you should. Celeste Ng                                                                                              rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
