To Kill a Mockingbird

De: Harper Lee

Narrado por: Sissy Spacek

Brought to you by Penguin.

One of the greatest American novels ever written.

Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.

A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to 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 of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

Revived beautifully

It was a struggle to start, but as the pieces starting fitting together, I couldn't stop. I loved it.

The way sissy read it made me laugh and cry and sit at the edge of my seat. Stopping what I was doing and listening. The characters have been reawakened, and my day better for it.

Jaw dropping

Quite an interesting performance. The narrator was spot on and she had a way of making you visualise what she was saying. Everything from her accent to the enunciation was well suited for this book. I understand why this is a timeless classic and this Audible rendition did this book justice!

A beautifully narrated classic

Ooh Aticus, perfection personified. This classic was way ahead of its time. Narrated beautifully, it brings the sharpest note of your imagination to life

Sissy Spacek brings it to life!

As one of the greatest books ever written, listening to it with this narration, brought tears to my eyes!

Fantastic Narrator.

I didnt like the story much. but the way its written, the narrative is deeply creative. Good read. but I spent much time with lots of expectations due to the awards etc. i found it to be okay...

Sissy brings the words to life

This classic book with its beautiful prose and profound subject matter is one that you just can't stop reading. Sissy Spacek is perfect as the narrator and provides the nuances required to deliver this book as it was imagined. I will listen to this again to hear the prose and her voice again

A classic...

Books like these change something within you..in a good way...The narrator was awesome especially Jean Louis voice was awesome...

the voice acrtor was amazing.

I'd say a great portion of why I enjoyed the book so much was due to her performance.

the narrator did an amazing job. The author is simply genius to be able to take such a heavy subject and deliver it from a child's perspective.. kudos.. im so glad i completed the book till the end..
