"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 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. One of the best-loved classics of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many dis-tinctions since its original publication in 1960. It has won the Pulitzer Prize, been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, and been made into an enormously popular movie. It was also named the best novel of the twentieth century by librarians across the country (Library Journal).

To Kill a Mockingbird

I feel robbed of some of the best childhood memories for not having read this book when I was young. I can only imagine how it must have felt to grow up alongside these beloved characters; cout, Boo, and Atticus. Even reading it as an adult, the experience was profoundly moving, perhaps even more so. I haven’t yet read deeply into the symbolism the story conveys, but even at face value, it is clear that this book is meant for every child and for every young adult who aspires to understand the bonds between friends, neighbors, and individuals of all kinds.

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.

Gripping plot with well written characters.

To Kill A Mockingbird

This was brilliant🥹 I’m very touched and inspired and feel so good I read this book. I didn’t expect to love it this much. I had never heard anything of the story before I actually read it and I think it was brilliant. I will totally recommend it to anyone I know. I loved the details, the vibes, the story and the characters. I loved seeing this little girl grow up, her relationship with her brother and with her father, the bonds this family shared. It was all very special to me and I’ll cherish it in my heart💜 To anyone even thinking of reading this don’t hesitate 💜

si lo hubiese leído bajo el contexto histórico en el que se publicó seguramente tendría cinco estrellas. pero, al estar en el siglo 2024, no me llega prácticamente nada.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

Harper Lee's classic novel should absolutely be read by every teenager out there, and if they missed that slot, then every adult. It's such a moving story about racism, prejudice and the effect one unprejudiced man can have on an entire town. When I'm older, I'm gonna be Atticus Finch. Sometimes I cried just because he was so sweet, so peaceful, so serene, continously putting himself in other people's shoes, never raising his voice or his hand, and teaching his two children Jem and Scout, to behave similarily. We see the importance of a strong adult role model in a young child's life, as Scout holds extremely strong opinions about the black race, and Calpurnia, their maid whose connection is more than just a house servant, helps Scout to see the kindness of the black race. 

Jem and Scout also show us the importance of a sibiling relationship; more importantly, childish curiosity. Without this curiosity, Jem and Scout never would have achieved the end point of this story. 

I cried numerous times, mainly because I keep remembering this has happened many many times, in real life, in the past, where an innocent black man has been accused of a crime. He did not do anything, yet the accusation left him immediatly convicted; the minute a white opened their mouth against him, he's guilty. I cried alot because Atticus Finch is the kindest father, lawyer and black-loving justice server to exist.

Very slow, especially the beginning. The plot actually never really starts. But I can understand why all that sounds so banal now would have been groundbreaking back when it was published. So it's still a book to be appreciated.

Qué cosa más hermosa. Te deja el corazón calentito♥️ Atticus, Scout, Jem, Maudie, Boo, no quiero irme de acá✨

Extremely thought-provoking. You learn what gives a person all the qualities to be called a mockingbird. And you learn why it's a sin to do them wrong. This book teaches you about life, people and it really is a revolution for its time. It's one of those books that just must be read.

I also played in the streets with the kids, got curious about Boo Radley and questioned the concept of justice.

I first read this book in college's first year and wasn't matured enough to understand this book as deeply then. Nonetheless, I had loved it then, and I love it more now. The experience of seeing the Maycomb world from Scout's perspective is worth it. Once finished, it felt like a lifetime, and I wanted to go live with the Finches. Atticus will always be my literary hero. 
I realized that evil is everywhere in the world, not just around me. And people get discriminated against daily based on their color, social status, education, and language. And how some folks can change their surroundings by being patient, humble, and just kind.

Amazing storytelling with an amazing plot and great morals.
The lessons taught in this book is amazing, tackling topics such as racism, rape, and fairness.
Would definitely want to read it again in the future.

There's nothing I could say that hasn't been said a million times before. There's just something about this book – I could read it again and again.

Really good read, I really liked the narrative aspect and albeit took my some time to get used to it, was really engaging once I did.

i can't believe all i've ever heard about this book is that it is racist when it's actually the literal opposite.......
