To Kill a Mockingbird (Harperperennial Modern Classics) Kindle Edition

by Harper Lee (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 140,774 ratings

Look for The Land of Sweet Forever, a posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays and magazine pieces by Harper Lee, coming October 21, 2025.

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.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Lee's beloved American classics makes its belated debut on audio (after briefly being available in the 1990s for the blind and libraries through Books on Tape) with the kind of classy packaging that may spoil listeners for all other audiobooks. The two CD slipcases housing the 11 discs not only feature art mirroring Mary Schuck's cover design but also offers helpful track listings for each disk. Many viewers of the 1962 movie adaptation believe that Lee was the film's narrator, but it was actually an unbilled Kim Stanley who read a mere six passages and left an indelible impression. Competing with Stanley's memory, Spacek forges her own path to a victorious reading. Spacek reads with a slight Southern lilt and quiet authority. Told entirely from the perspective of young Scout Finch, there's no need for Spacek to create individual voices for various characters but she still invests them all with emotion. Lee's Pulitzer Prize–winning 1960 novel, which quietly stands as one of the most powerful statements of the Civil Rights movement, has been superbly brought to audio. Available as a Perennial paperback. (Aug.)

From School Library Journal

Spacek, with her lilting Southern accent, perfectly captures the voice of Scout, the young girl whose life is thrown into turmoil when her father, the upright and highly ethical lawyer Atticus Finch, takes on the defense of a black man accused of raping a white woman. Their sleepy Alabama town may never be the same and Spacek's exceptional pacing propels this Pulitzer Prize-winner-a staple of many high school reading lists-to its inexorable conclusion. The 1962 film, starring Gregory Peck (who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Atticus Finch), was named to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 1995.α(c) Copyright 2013.

I read this book in English class when I was in middle school but, it didn't really make an impression on my young mind. Fast forward 35 years and I decided to finally reread it & I'm glad I did. This is a masterpiece! I want to read it's sequel soon.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Classic with Deep Social Commentary
    Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a timeless classic that masterfully combines a coming-of-age story with a deep social commentary on racism, morality, and justice. Set in the 1930s in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama, the novel follows Scout Finch, a young girl, and her father, Atticus Finch, a principled lawyer who defends a black man, Tom Robinson, falsely accused of raping a white woman.

    One of the strongest aspects of the book is Harper Lee’s portrayal of complex, multifaceted characters. Scout, with her youthful innocence, sees the world through a lens of curiosity and confusion as she witnesses the injustices around her. Atticus, on the other hand, serves as a moral beacon, showing unwavering courage and compassion even when faced with overwhelming prejudice. The portrayal of Tom Robinson’s trial offers a heartbreaking reflection on racial inequality and the moral struggles of the era.

    The novel’s narrative style is another strength. Through Scout’s perspective, we see the growth of empathy and understanding, and as readers, we are invited to question the structures of society. The writing is both accessible and profound, making it approachable for a wide range of readers, while still offering deep layers for more critical analysis.

    The only downside is that some may find parts of the story slow, especially for younger readers unfamiliar with the historical context. However, the novel’s themes are still incredibly relevant today, making it an important and thought-provoking read.

    Overall, To Kill a Mockingbird is an essential book that offers profound insights into human nature and the complexities of moral courage in the face of injustice. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the enduring struggles for equality and the power of empathy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic of Literature
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    You're familiar with the basic story and maybe you read it long ago. You know the book is a classic and you remember seeing the movie as a child. But have you ever sat down and just appreciated this novel for the wonderful story that it truly is? This is story about racism, culture and societal expectations. But, most of all, it is a story about integrity and doing the right thing.

    The story is set in the South: the town of Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930's. A place where white people have roles and black people have rules. This is where the great Atticus Finch is raising his two children - Jeremy (Jem) and Jean Louise (Scout). Although he is a widow, he does have the help of a servant named Calpurnia who is a cherished part of the family. Atticus is a public defender and serves on the State Legislature. He is a highly-educated and thoughtful man dedicated to his town, his neighbors, his family - and justice. His motto: "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

    The story, however, is not told from his perspective, but from that of his daughter, Scout who is around 5 or 6 when the story begins and about 10 or so in its closing scenes. Through her eyes, we get innocence mixed with a precociousness and the wry sense of humor she has inherited from her dad. He's a lawyer and he asks a lot of questions. Sometimes he asks them when he already knows the answer and so does Scout. Atticus is always straight-forward about answering her. Jem tries his best with her, but he is also very young at the time and trying to find his way of fitting in as well.

    The first few pages introduce a cast of characters and are somewhat challenging to get into. Best to relax and just enjoy the ride - it will all come clear as the story unfolds. Remember you are being introduced by a small child. The action starts soon enough, as Atticus is assigned to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman. The scenes leading up to and within the courthouse during the trial are brilliant and evoke so much emotion as you "climb into another's skin and walk around in it". The writing is so vivid and the characters really come alive. Your heart wants one verdict even though your head knows it's going to be another. The town gets past the trial and life goes on; or does it? Unfortunately, not for everyone. The ending is incredible and will not leave you for a long time to come.

    I read this book as part of a banned book project and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I fell in love with Atticus Finch and Scout and I hope to become a better person for it! I'm glad when young people review this book and are shocked by what the world offered in 1935. That helps me understand that times are indeed changing despite still having a way to go!

    REVIEW.

    "In Harper Lee's timeless classic, "To Kill a Mockingbird," the author explores the complexities of apartheid and racial discrimination in 1930s Alabama. Through the eyes of Scout Finch, the narrator, we witness the intricacies of small-town life in Maycomb County, where social hierarchies and prejudices prevail.

    Initially, the novel's focus on Scout's childhood adventures with her brother Jem and friend Dill may seem lighthearted, but it skillfully lays the groundwork for the more serious themes that unfold. The introduction of Tom Robinson, a wrongly accused black man, and the reclusive Boo Radley, who becomes an unlikely hero, adds depth to the narrative.

    Lee's writing is deliberate and nuanced, with clever use of foreshadowing and symbolism. The hand discrepancy, mentioned in the opening paragraph, becomes a pivotal piece of evidence in the trial, highlighting the importance of details. The author's choice to introduce characters through varying names, such as first names, designations, and surnames, adds complexity to the story and keeps the reader engaged.

    Through "To Kill a Mockingbird," Lee delivers a powerful exploration of empathy, morality, social justice, and the loss of innocence. The novel's thought-provoking themes and relatable characters make it an iconic piece of American literature. As a reader, I appreciated the author's ability to balance lighthearted moments with serious commentary, creating a narrative that is both entertaining and enlightening.

    Overall, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a masterful tale that has captivated readers for generations, and its exploration of human nature, prejudice, and redemption continues to resonate today."

    Point-de-vue de la jeune Scout encore une enfant. Elle se chamaille souvent avec son frère Jem. Quel est le but de cette histoire pourtant si belle est que, tout ce passe en Alabama dans les années 30', et que le père de Jem et Scout doit défendre un jeune homme noir qui a été accusé de viol. Qu'il l'ait fait ou pas, son destin est de toute façon tracer ce qui laisse un arrière goût d'amertume dans la bouche. Bien sûr avant d'en arriver là, le lecteur va découvrir la vie et la routine qu'ont Jem et sa soeur durant leur enfance, et surtout comment ils vont réagir quand l'affaire du procès va les toucher. Et puis, il reste la question, qui va vous hanter la majorité du temps: Qui est Boo Radley ? (non mais oui parce que c'est bien beau de parler de lui...il a un beau nom mais qui est-il ? une légende ?
    Haha la fin est magnifique dans un sens cela ne vous viendrait même pas à l'esprit. J'ai du lire encore et encore la fin tellement elle m'a surprise.

    To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful and thought-provoking books I’ve ever read. The story is gripping, with unforgettable characters like Scout, Atticus, and Boo Radley, who stay with you long after you finish the book. The themes of racial injustice, empathy, and moral growth are just as relevant today as they were when the book was first published.

    Harper Lee’s writing is beautiful yet straightforward, making complex ideas accessible and emotional. This is a novel that not only tells an incredible story but also challenges you to think deeply about the world around you.

    Highly recommended for anyone looking for a book that is as enriching as it is captivating.
