Product Description

Product Description
Set in a sleepy town in South Alabama during the Great Depression in the 1930s, this is a multi-layered story which dissects the white and black communities of the American South. Told with gentle humour, it focuses on religious turpitude and the ambivalence of adult morality.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Classic, 7 April 1999
By A Customer
A must read book - it's often foisted on school children to read...which is a pity - because usually the books you are made to read are the ones you can't enjoy...

The book has everything...humour...tenderness..social comment..a gripping plot...it's one of those rare novels that works on different levels...it's famous for making a point about racism...but how it does it is quite brilliant..

it's the story of a brother and sister growing up in a small old fashioned community. They live with their father...and the story follows some of their childhood exploits but has this strong sub plot about a black man who is accused of raping a white girl. The childrens father is the man who defends the black man. I'm not going to spoil it for you by giving away too many details...I've recommended this book to a number of friends..all of whom have loved it.

When I first read this when I was younger...I wanted to grow up to be Atticus... Now I'm older...and about to become a father...I want my daughter to be just like Scout..

5.0 out of 5 stars enlightening eye opener of culture and race, 12 April 2001
By A Customer
Having read Harper Lees Mockingbird as a school child, I re-read the book with some anticipation of remembering the dull books that were used as set texts.

What I discovered was a wonderful, sincere novel that expolres race, culture, discrimination and acceptance in the southern American states through the honest eyes and inquisitive nature of a child.

The book left me reeling with both joy and sadness at the antics of Scout, her brother and friend. Her observations and open acceptance of the issues raised by Harper Lee are a revelation.

The book reminds me of how life is rarely fair to those innocents such as Scout.

An excellent novel, recommended to adults and elder children alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars best book ive had to study, 11 April 2001
By A Customer
i had to study this book last year for my G.C.S.E's. It was the most eye opening book i had ever read. It made me aware of what life was like back then, and about the race discrimination. Although no-one else in my class liked it, because it was "boring" i think it was a great book to study it, and im glas i did so.
