To Kill a Mockingbird is an American classic, beautifully written with vivid characters and compelling themes. Scout, Jem, and Atticus Finch come alive to us in the small town where they live and meet the challenges of southern racism and bigotry. Although the movie version with Gregory Peck as Atticus is outstanding, so much wonderful detail is omitted that reading the book is a must.
