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 -- Truman Capote 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 Lees classic isnt one of the mostif not the mostbeloved 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 Atticusand, perhaps above all, the name Harperreflect 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. . . . Its a book determined to make young readers feel like grownups. . . and grownups feel like children * USA Today *
