To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird

Synopsis

The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic. Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.

  I found this opportunity on Borders website to review TKaMB, and was absolutely amazed that no-one had previously reviewed this great 20th-Century classic of American literature. The synopsis there probably sums it up better than I ever could. The story was made into a movie in 1962 for which Gregory Peck won the Best Actor award for his role as the lawyer Atticus Finch, in 1963.
  The story is told in a most charmingly straightforward, innocent way through the eyes of Scout Finch (Atticus's 8-year old daughter), the setting being in Depression-era Alabama. Do yourself two favours, read the book and watch the movie. Both are 110% satisfying.
