I delayed reading this for years after its publication because I think I was afraid I’d be utterly disappointed in it. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite novels ever, the perfect blend of characters and setting, a novel with themes of import captured by a small stage. This novel is not as well-written as TKM, but that doesn’t mean it was not good. I did enjoy it. Go Set a Watchman was actually the first draft, set in the 50s but written prior to TKM.

I had a hard time getting through this book. The first of it was just boring. I had heard a lot about Atticus being a racists in this book and so I felt I had to finish it to find out if that was true. But I found the end a jumble of historical and literary allusions fromUncle Jack and the argument between Scout and Atticus was also difficult to understand.
