thecaptainsquarters 's review for:
To Kill a Mockingbird performed by Sissy Spacek
by Harper Lee
Ahoy there! Me and a best matey went to see the newest adaptation (U.S. National Tour version) of the play by Aaron Sorkin. It was a horrible script and made me angry even though the rest of the production values were fine. After discussing the flaws of this play in detail, it made us want to re-watch the 1962 film version. The grainy but wonderful VHS tape viewing made me want to see how clearly both versions held up when comparing it to the original. I listened to this via audiobook and was struck all over again by how much I love this book. I usually relate to Scout the most but this read was a lot more analytical in many ways given seeing the two adaptations and my recent work in law. The narrator was Sissy Spacek but I did not know that until after I finished. She did an excellent job. I think this is one of the most important books I have ever read and it continues to resonate. Arrr!
