Summary: Reader kills the story
Review: This is a marvelous story, but the reader Roses Prichard, ruins it for the listener. Often, one cannot tell which character is speaking due to Prichard's inability to vary her voice. I would not recommend this audiobook to anyone.

Summary: To Kill a Mockingbird
Review: Hello i am Rachel a 13 year old I read to kill a mockingbird over the summer and I really liked it. It was sometimes boring but very good. With To Kill A Mockingbird you have to be patient and it takes a while to read but in the end it is worth it. I found the Characters very well developed and the ideas profound, it gave me a good look at a sleepy town during the deppression. It was told at an 8 year olds point of veiw so it combined daily life and games with the worries of the town. Harper Lee did an excellent job with the writing and this book is truly a classic which in my standards means boring at points but very good.

Summary: A true classic!
Review: Harper Lee's To Kill A Mocking Bird has a timeless quality -- people of various generations and cultures have embraced it. This is -- without a doubt -- one of my all-time favorite novels. I marvel at Harper Lee's amazing language and compelling story of Atticus Finch and his two children, Scout and Jem. Atticus has decided to defend a young black man accused of raping a white woman. Set during the Depression in Alabama, defending Tom Robinson is not an easy task. The whole town is against what he's doing. Lee touches on some very sensitive subjects, like the caste system, separation based on class and racism. I love the fact that the story is told through the eyes of Scout and Jem -- the children talk with honesty, humor and innocence. Also, I am awed by Atticus's fatherly warmth and family values. With great characters and a tender story, To Kill A Mockingbird is an everlasting treasure that should be read more than once.

Summary: A Beautiful Timeless Masterpiece
Review: 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a true American Classic. It takes place in a small Alabama town of Maycomb, with a three year journey through the life of a 8 year old girl named Scout Finch, her brother Jem and her father Atticus. Atticus Finch is a trial lawyer representing a young black man accused of raping a white woman. The entire story is told through the eyes of a child who describes the event leading up to her brother's arm being broken as the book begins it's course. There is an incredible blend of characters throughout this story including the mysterious town boogeyman 'Boo Radley'. All of the stories events surround the trial their father is involved in, and how he stands by his principles for a man he knows to be innocent despite the ugly side of generalized racial predjudice he is forced to endure as he takes on this case. The children are soon caught up in series of events they do not fully understand as a result of this. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a brilliant literary work that explores the conscienceness of innocence in a little southern girl with the triumphant heart of an adventurer. Harper Lee delivers a timeless novel about truth and honesty that is gracefully forged with the undying instruments of intrigue and heroism. Although it is set in the 1930's in Alabama, it could very well translate itself to almost any modern American city at any period in history with it's magnificent depth and beauty. Atticus is a true patriot of ethics and morality as he stands firm on the principles of truth, despite the vicious recoil he endures in his journey. A novel of profound impact on the heart and soul, Harper Lee created an incredible and unforgettable novel that deserves to be re-read generation to generation for its timeless example of fatherhood, honesty and justice. When I first read this book I knew that I had read a work of something more than a mere tale about a lazy Southern town. I was holding in my hands true beauty written by a literary master. You will love this one without a doubt. It will change you life, and rekindle that radiant spark of endless childhood in your soul. A great work indeed.

Summary: The Epitomy of Classic Literature
Review: Harper Lee's timeless novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird", tops the list of classic literature. It shows bitterness and descrimination of all kinds through the innocent eyes of Scout Finch, a young girl in Maycomb, Alabama. Her father, the town's best lawyer, tries to teach his children the lessons of life by living it, instead of by just being told. The plot revolves around a court case involving a black man being accused of raping a white woman. Scout's father, Atticus, takes on the impossible case, causing society to shame him and his family. This wonderful piece of literature is a fantastic depiction of life in the south in the earlier part of the century.
