Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee

     Go Set A Watchman, by Harper Lee has been hailed as a literary masterpiece and polarizing by readers.  There are those who feel it's one of the greatest sequels ever written and claim Lee was ahead of her time.  I do not agree.
     This book, set in 1950's fictional town of Macomb, Alabama is about Jean Louise's return home.  I was looking for a story that shared the improvement of America, primarily in the south.  What I received was a book that raised the bile from the depths of my lower intestines!
     I understand racial and political tension reigned supreme in those days, but this novel turned scenes of a daughter's love and innocent, playful memories into sadiddy banter, hatred, and disdain towards Jews, African-Americans and whites less fortunate.  How in the world does see the actions of Adolf Hitler as wrong, but not bat a lash at your own molestations of the justice system and simple morality?  
     Where was the Watchman in this book?
     Now I won't give any spoilers, just in case you decide to read the book, but there's also a lot of conflict between those we loved in To Kill A Mockingbird and this book.  Where you found heroism, you will see flaws.  Where you found rapport, you'll find bitterness and loathing.  And I am not even going to tell you how many times the "N"-word was used.  Ugh...
     Lastly, as the wife of a caucasian husband, I found myself insulted when they spoke on interracial 'copulation' and marriages.  The story just incited an anger within me, one I will not allow to take place again.  More than likely, this book and its predecessor will gather much dust on my library bookshelf.  I won't refer it to any of my friends and family either.  I won't even  waste the beating of my fingers against my keyboard on a discussion thread. No, I'm done with them.  I'm also sorry I handed off funds that'll go toward the Lee estate.  
     I'm so disgusted, I don't even have a quote to add.  If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see my rating according to my Specs Rating.  Have both a great book and day!
