Product Description

Harper Lee's classic novel of a lawyer in the deep south defending a black man charged with the rape of a white girl

One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many distinctions since its original publication in 1960. It won the Pulitzer Prize, has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, and been made into an enormously popular movie. Most recently, librarians across the country gave the book the highest of honors by voting it the best novel of the twentieth century.

Performed by Sissy Spacek



Customer Reviews:
3 out of 5 stars Not really all that good   September 7, 2010
Kirk J. Frank (Houma, LA)
Although the contents of the book from a literary standpoint is superb, the reading by Sissy Spacek is average compared to other books on CDs I heard before. While she is reading from one character to another, her voice and accent does not change. It's like you are listening to the same person with a heavy southern drawl. It's rather confusing at times and difficult to listen to throughout the hold novel. I must say, Mrs. Spacek accent of "Scout" was excellent.


5 out of 5 stars certainly worth a reconsideration   July 21, 2010
T. Burket (Potomac, MD United States)
I had two purposes, prompted by the 50th anniversary of publication.

1. Is the book worth reading (or hearing) for those of us who haven't read it for many years, if not decades? Answer: absolutely. The novel is still wonderful, with such finely drawn, memorable characters in a story that is straightforward and easy to understand in its morals and message.

2. How is the narration by Sissy Spacek and does the novel work while listening in the car? Ms. Spacek is excellent, with her acting talent applied generously. I have no idea whether she had to work at the Alabama sound, but to this Yankee she did not sound unnatural at all, including presentation of young Scout and Jem. Even without demonstrating exceptional range in distinguishing among the characters, I really liked the pacing and general sound. Drive-time fiction can be a challenge when there is mystery and suspense, as "can't put it down" could be problematic. In this case, I already knew the basics of what would happen, so calling it quits and picking up later was ok.


5 out of 5 stars Listen again and again   December 20, 2008

This was a birthday gift for my mother and it's become her favourite audio book. She leaves it playing as she works and never tires of it. An excellent gift.

My wife and I listened to the cassette on an auto trip to Oregon to visit with our grandsons. Although we had read the book before, the audio tapes made the miles fly by thanks to Sissy Spacek.


5 out of 5 stars Tightly written with a message for everyone   October 3, 2006

Harper Lee was encouraged to write some of her childhood memories. What in the beginning seems like the story of three childhood friends in depression era Macomb, Alabama, turns out to be packed with insights to the makeup of human kind.

This story is intriguing on many levels from the history of the area to the stereotyping of people. Most of all every turn was a surprise as told in the first person from the view of Scout Finch. And instead of telling the story in a six year old vocabulary she uses an exceptionally large repertoire to describe the people and events. This story is not as slow passed as one may guess from first glance as every remark and every action will be needed for a future action.

A major controversial part of the story is the trial of Tom Robinson. Hoverer this is just a catalyst to help Scout understand the nature of people including her father Atticus and you will find that as important as it is it is just a part of the story with other major characters such as Arthur "Boo" Radley.

Even thought it appears that Scout is the recipient of the insights, I believe we the reader is the real recipient.

I can truly say that this book has changed my outlook in life.
