Deja Vu

If you would like to re-live the grueling academic circle-jerk of a LIT.101 "discussion group," this is a little better. In the end, I resent this recording even more because it pours gasoline on my already burning desire to revisit this book.

This is not an audio book!
It has a good discussion but it not as advertised.

THIS IS NOT THE BOOK!!

What disappointed you about Thalia Book Club: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird 50th Anniversary Celebration?

This is just a bunch of people talking about the book. It's not narrated so much as discussed.

Misleading - Page shide indicate only excerpts

I wanted to finaly get around to reading the book. This is disappointing. Weppage says speach but does not indicate it is only excerpts from the book. I may enjoy this after I I get a copy of the book, but this was really misleading. Its about as bad as when I bought the Spanish copy of the Art of War.

Ripped Off! This is not a book!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This is not a book. It's a collection of people talking about a book. Something I could have done without.
