Harper Lee’s Pulitzer prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep south - and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred, available now for the first time as a digital audiobook. One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the 20th century by librarians across the country.

Brilliant, a must read (listen)

This book is a literary masterpiece. It takes complex themes such as racism and injustice and portrays them through the eyes of an innocent naive child. It makes hard to discuss topics very accessible without being belittling or talking down to the reader. Sissy spacek narrates the book flawlessly.

Story5 out of 5 stars 376
Puncturing the bubble of Canadian smugness and naive assumptions of a post-racial nation, Cole chronicles just one year - 2017 - in the struggle against racism in this country. It was a year that saw calls for tighter borders when black refugees braved frigid temperatures to cross into Manitoba from the States, Indigenous land and water protectors resisting the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, police across the country rallying around an officer accused of murder, and more.

This book is a must read given the current climate of the world. Many of us Canadians feel privileged to live in a country we deem as welcoming and unbiased, but thus book helps educate the listener on the systemic problems many believe to only be an American issue. Passionate stories of those who stood up for not only themselves and others oppressed by the system inspire the listener to take action and help fight for change

Fascinating
Reviewed: 2020-06-09
This book tells the story of one of the most innovative minds of modern times. It doesn’t shy away from his less flattering moments and characteristics, but opts to portray the person of Steve jobs as opposed to the “figure”. The voice narration keeps you interested even deep into the 22 hour duration.
