To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

disclosure

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my all time favorite books. I read it for a school assignment many years ago and have read it many times since then. With each reading, I always seem to notice something new.

The poignant story of injustice and of the importance doing the right thing even if the cost is high resonated with me as a child. It was eye opening to read about life in the South during the 1930’s from the perspective of a child who was trying to make sense of the world around her.

In July, there will be a new Harper Lee book published, Go Set a Watchman. It’s not a ‘new’ book and was actually submitted for publication before To Kill a Mockingbird. The manuscript was thought to be lost, but was found in 2014 and is finally going to be published.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a thought provoking novel that is still relevant today, as it was when it was first published.


To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee
isbn 9780062420701
Pub. date 3/3/15

Description: “A lawyer’s advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee’s classic novel—a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, 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.”

    This book is an absolute classic that I read as a child. I am so glad that Harper Lee is back on the scene again.

    This is one of my top 5 favorite books of all time. I have read it dozens of times, and seen the film too many times to count. I would love to have this hardback copy.

    I saw the play and the movie of this, but, never read the book. Thank you for the chance.

    Never read the book but I have seen the movie. Would love to read the original.

    The movie is great, however I have never read the book. I’m sure it’s just as great, or maybe even better than the movie.

  51. Michelle C says

    This is one of those books I’ve been meaning to read for years, yet never have!

    One of the greatest books of the twentieth century, and she has another one coming out so this one demands a re-read.

  57. Gloria says

    My granddaughter has just finished reading this book for a summer read assignment. I thought she would love to have a copy of her own to read.

  63. Michelle S says

    I would love to have a new copy of this – my copy is from a rummage sale!

  64. Blythe J says

    This is one of those books they had us read in school that I never really appreciated. I would love to reread it as I think I would really enjoy the book as an adult.

  68. Dana says

    It’s been so long since I’ve read this; what a delight to re-read it. Plus I’m a print gal; not a kindle type (even though I’m a computer nerd)

    I’ve always thought the “To Kill a Mockingbird” was and is the great American novel.

    @Dana I totally understand! I’m on a computer most of the time and love to take a break from the screen and read print books :)
