Unabridged Audiobook
Enjoyed this reading by Sissy Spacek.
Perfect... "could not put it down". Sissy was great.
Love this book. The narrator tells it so well too!
This classic describes coming of age in the Deep South amidst serious life events, the awareness raised by being the children of Atticus, a local attorney. Both children became aware of the damage done by severe racial prejudice and joined their father in the courageous but tragic counter cultural activities, raising awareness of the pain and suffering of African Americans, and the bravery required to be a minority in the Deep South. Loved this book and have listened several times.
A timeless classic which still resonates today.
Very nice book, love it! This book was on my daughter school program, so I decide to read it. No regrets, very good book. Strongly recommend.
I? Love this book it’s one of the best book in the world I? just can’t stop playing it
Enjoyed this book and Sissy Spacek did a great job.
I will be listening to this story more times in the future. Very entertaining!
This book was very moving. I can’t believe I had never read it but I am so happy I did.
Amazing book. So glad I read it! It's the best book I've ever read.
Sissy did an amazing job with her narration of this beautiful classic. The visuals as well as the tone changes make for a realistic picture in your head. Leaves you feeling like you are in the book itself. Will always recommend!
Great book great listen … highly recommend
Excellent book. I was on the edge of my seat, so I actually sped up the narrator's voice. This is an American classic that should never be taken off the shelves no matter what your view is, because we cannot erase history. How will we ever learn if we don't learn from our mistakes. This was truly an amazing book. The narrator for this audiobook was the best I've ever heard yet!
Good read. The narrator brings the story to life.
Love
I read this book with my ninth grade English class. Such an amazing book, and Sissy Spacek was the perfect narrator.
It was very awesome book the narrator was perfect for this book
Most of us baby boomers were required to read this book during high school. This listen so many years later was great. I highly recommend it.
Excellent presentation of a classic story.
It’s a very good book! I like that there is a lot of old words used and how it is out into the southern accent.
very good.
Great book, that I have read so many times, read by someone that understood they were reading for others. Awesomeness
Enjoyed listening to this narrator.
This book will be with me for the rest of my life. Everyone should read this.
I love the language and descriptions in this book. It really makes you think about the time period. The message was deep and too true. I found myself contemplating the human heart long after finishing this book. The narrator was great. She spoke so smoothly that it was easy to get lost in the story.
Beautiful
Just wow. Did I enjoy this? Yessum.
I read this book for the first time at the age of 45, loved it very much. The narrator was amazing also!
Not my cup of tea. It was pretty well written but I can't say I liked it.
Can’t put into proper words on how this book made me feel. It is a book I loved to listen to and will again.
Excellent book.
Very interesting view of a slice of Americana in the late 1920’s and early 30’s from a s child’s point of view ! Also some good life lessons learned . Narrator was excellent !!
Sissy Spacek was the perfect fit for this reading. I felt like Scout was by my side the whole time.
Very good, amazing narrator.
This book is so beautifully written. The narrator does an amazing job reading the book aloud.
Loved the book and Sissy Spacek was amazing with the different voices of the people. Harper Lee was so explicit,couldn’t put the book down!!
Although I read this in high school, I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the story. Listening to it read by Ms. Spacek completely transported me to that time and place.
This was such a great read.
No better narrator for this book other than Sissy Spacek could have been chosen. Do they give awards for best narration of an audio book?
For me, it was just OK.
Sweet, pure and beautiful...
One of my favorite books. If you were assigned this book in school and dreaded it, I implore you to try reading it again, if not listen to this recording. It reminds me why Atticus Finch is one of literature's most beloved characters. I honestly fell in love all over again. The writing is smart, lush, and vivid. Touching, witty, and heartbreaking. Pair this with Sissy Spacek's wonderful performance, and you've got a masterpiece. Without making goofy cartoon voices, Sissy differentiates all of the characters using simple changes in pitch and delivery. When you're listening, you almost forget it's just one woman speaking. The recording is 12 hours long, but I found it went by extremely fast. Thoroughly enjoyable. I think I may make this a yearly listen so I can enjoy it again.
Outstanding book, outstanding narrator!
Sissy Spacek was wonderful.
This is the first audiobook I ever listened to. Sissy Spacek was perfect for narrating this book. I have listened to it many times and will listen to it many more.
Amazing !!!!! If you close your eyes it like watching a movie .
Phenomenal. Sissy Spacek gives a genuine and just voice to Scout. I hadn’t read this since I was relatively young. A novel with a strong sense of time and place that somehow manages to be timeless. Brilliant.
Amazing book and great author
Such a great reading! Enjoyed every minute.
Favorite book of all times have read multiple times and listened to at it least ten times. Sissy Spacek is excellent as Scout, feels like home.
One of the best books ever written. I had forgotten what a great book it is. Engaging, engrossing, emotive, (I cried three times and I never cry), outstanding use of language. And there can be no better narrator than Sissy Spacek (so?). Great southern accent and use of voices for each character. You will glad you revisited this old friend.
Great book. It is a classic for a reason. I listened to it around the same time I read Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry which helped give a deeper picture of the times.
It is a really good book and I really recommend it.
A classic, with so many great characters and topics for thought and discussion. Spacek did an amazing job reading and bringing Scouts character to life. Loved it!
Audiobooks has been the saving grace to help my daughter through school. Being a teacher I won't let her use cliff notes style books. Instead she reads the boom WITH thw audio. it has helped develop her understanding of the story and comprehension.
The theme of the book is as timely today as it was when it was first published. Prejudice will always be with us but there is hope for humanity. May we be encouraged to live our lives with courage and conviction. The narration was excellent.
A classic must read for a reason! Sissy Spacek is the perfect narrator.
great read sad in the end about the young man Tom Robinson very enjoyable to the last word
Timeless story told beautifully!
I think that this book is amazing! And it's so interesting. And the narrator makes it come alive so much more. Reading without listening to the audio book doesn't make it click. So having this book so well spoken is awesome for me.
I remember this being required reading back in grade school. Nothing like the exquisite narrative that Sissy Spacek does in her MASTERFUL narration that bring ;Jean Louise Finch (Scout) , Jeremy Atticus Finch (Jem) , Atticus Finch. Calpurnia., Charles Baker Harris (Dill), Arthur Radley (Boo) , Tom Robinson, and Mayella Ewell to life with this timeless classic. A MUST!
At first I couldn't get into listening to the book but after a while it started to come together for me and I enjoy it so much that I am going to listen to it again.
Great for a first listen. I had never read the book while in school and I'm not much into classics. But this is a classic for a reason, great book and narration.
I'm an 8th grader and we got assigned to read this book. It was so cool that they had a southern accent reading the book because it felt like she knew the story and it really brought you more into the book. This book was amazing and I wasn't expecting it to be this good. This is my new favorite book!
I am getting to know southern Mississippi and just spent two months there. The language and issues of the book are still pertinent, the prejudice isn't as overt but is engrained in Southern culture and the attitudes of the white population towards the blacks. It really was dangerous for blacks to cross whites, and it still isn't a fair world for the non-white population. Sissy Spacek is gifted as an interpreter of Scout's world, but the writing is amazing, rich and beautiful, even when the story is ugly, it is real. I will have to read Lee Harper's new release. I didn't find the story slow, but then, the South is slow, and I am not accustomed to the speed of television!
Sissy Spacek did an amazing job narrating. Gave me a greater appreciation for the book!
Not at all what I was expecting. I thought it was a courtroom drama. I think it would have been a rather boring read, but Sissy Spacek really brought it to life.
Since we m ow this book is amazing, I will just comment on the narrator of the audio. She was good and easy to listen too for hours on end.
Kinda boring I mean it gets interesting at the end of the book but the beginning is so bad....
I love the narrator reading. She does great! I just find the book a little offensive. If you are sensitive to the "N" word then I would not recommend this book. But remember it's setting is when stuff like that was an okay word to say. But it is a good and interesting book.
Spectacular! The story is timeless, and Ms. Spacek's narration adds an outstanding level of excellence to this class work of literature.
I read this book years ago when I was in school. It was a great way to re-read the book, as I wanted to read the new book - Go set a Watchman.
This book is life changing. It made me laugh and and cry and warmed my heart. Sissy Spacek brought the character of Scout to life in a way no one else could. Bravo!
I had never read this in my younger years, but I had seen the movie. Loved it! I think Sissy Spacek brought Scout and the story to life as I listened. Excellent book and narrator!
I suppose this book appealed to the masses in 1960, the controversial subject matter. However I found the ignorance and naiveness of some of the characters amusing. I still had a very difficult time getting through the book I found it to be boring and slow for today's reading. Sissy Spacek did a great job bringing out that simple southern charm.
No words for this book...........................................................................
Best boooooooooooooooooooooook everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
