Voted by the reading public as the most popular title to be given away as part of World Book Night 2012.
You may have read this but it certainly deserves another read. It’s the sort of book that becomes more profound with each reading. It is quite simply brilliant, a tale of prejudices and injustice in small town America which should be part of everyone’s collection.
Comparison: J D Salinger (Catcher in the Rye), William Golding (Lord of the Flies), Joseph Heller (Catch 22).
'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird'.

I loved this book. It was an absolute masterpiece. Very emotional but was just delightful to read. So far it's held it's title as my favourite book of all time. Great.
