A damned good piece of literature. Certainly an enduring classic and a good example of moral integrity.

I read this in school and later in life and it still reduced me to tears, but still makes you think.

This book was chosen for our English 101 class for university transfer. Very interesting trial and we had to go through line by line in class.

Storyline

THE ORIGINAL TEXT 'Shoot all the Bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a Mockingbird.' Atticus Finch gives this advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of this classic novel - a black man charged with attacking a white girl. Through the eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Lee explores the issues of race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s with compassion and humour. She also creates one of the great heroes of literature in their father, whose lone struggle for justice pricks the conscience of a town steeped in prejudice and hypocrisy. Read the sequel to this book: Go Set a Watchman
