The illustrations are beautiful, and the text is mostly faithful to the novel. I don't recommend this adaptation for people who haven't already read or don't remember much about the original novel, though. Some lines of dialog are responses or references to lines that have been omitted, and as a result the dialog may not always make sense to readers who aren't very familiar with the source material. For example, there's a point where it appears that Dill is disagreeing with himself (as opposed to disagreeing with Scout) because Scout's line has been skipped.
