Rating (1-5) 📘📘
Genre - Classic Literature, Fiction
Format - Audio-book

*Amazon Blurb*

One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.

*My Review* 

I borrowed this Audio-book 3 times. I don't know why it was so hard for me to listen to, other than the fact that I couldn't do it with my 5 year old around because of the language.

I thought the book was going to have a lot about the trial of someone wrongly accused, but instead it just seemed to have a lot about the kids doing and saying whatever they want. I really feel as if I missed something with this and maybe I would do better with re-reading a printed copy in the future.

    1. I'm not sure. I think this was one of the books we read (at least part of) back in high school.
