Format:Audible Audio Edition
This is not an unabridged audible book of "To Kill a Mockingbird." It is, as stated in the description above, simply a celebration of the book, in which excerpts of the book are read.

The sample audio clip features someone reading the actual book. I could kick myself for purchasing it. At the very least, the word "unabridged" should not appear anywhere on the item's Amazon page.

Currently, my 10th grade English class is reading this amazing story in class and I am just absolutely in love wth ths story. Almost veryday we are having dicussions over occurences/actions in the book and we can honestly analyze a whole sentence,just one, for 45 minutes because of how meaningful each and every detail is and I love it. After the first two days I ended up just buying my own copy and read it all in one sitting, I was completely captivated. This telling is a master peice and everyone who is capable should read thiss book at least once i their lifetime. five starts.
