To Kill A Mockingbird

No one ever forgets this book * Independent *
Someone rare has written this very fine novel, a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humor. A touching book; and so funny, so likeable
There is humour as well as tragedy in this book, besides its faint note of hope for human nature; and it is delightfully written in the now familiar Southern tradition * Sunday Times *
It would be difficult to argue that Harper Lee’s classic isn’t one of the most—if not the most—beloved of American novels * New Yorker *
The enduring appeal of Mockingbird lies not only in the plot or characters; the book is a mirror, a source of endless and revelatory conversation about who we are and have been as a country * Washington Post *
The names Scout and Atticus—and, perhaps above all, the name Harper—reflect a respect not just for the arc of history, but for the hope that it does indeed bend toward justice * Atlantic *
Novels like To Kill a Mockingbird enlarge the heart and inspire the mind. They have the power to uplift readers and enrich them — no matter where those readers live or how they worship or the color of their skin * Boston Globe *
A first novel of such rare excellence * Chicago Tribune *
The rare classic that speaks to all ages about the less triumphant aspects of American history * Time *
A seminal American story, a touchstone of racial tolerance… . The book is a marvel, brilliantly structured, wonderfully told in the voice of Scout Finch, a stand-in for its tomboyish author as a child… . It’s a book determined to make young readers feel like grownups… and grownups feel like children * USA Today *
