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.

"What a deep book. Scout has to be in my favorite leading characters list. She's so fun to read about. This was written like many of the old books I've read, so it was fairly easily for me to get into and understand. The first 100 pages were pretty much an intro to Scout's and her brother Jem's lives. It had details that were actually symbols of other things. Unfortunately I currently don't know what they all were but I think I got a few. The famous Trial happens after half the book is finished. The book really picks up then, inticing the reader with more and more events that lead up the the climax perfectly. <br/><br/>I thought it was a good book that expressed racism in the 1930's. It showed how people lived, thought, and what they believed then. It was a book of growth, symbolism, and the gray zones in the 'right or wrong' category. There were characters that you could love and some that you would avoid. The worldbuilding was detailed and made it seem like Maycomb was an actual county in Alabama full of people. It showed the Great Depression influencing all parts of life but people who were striving to get through it."

"Such a good book. I love how laid back the story is. You are just slowly introduced to every person in town so that by the end you feel like you have to say goodbye to your friends. This also made it more emotional for the reader when the trial came into the picture."
