Horror's Greatest Hits
Michael Nichols asked this question about Go Set a Watchman:
Really...this was lost? She only wrote one other novel. I suspect this "newly found" manuscript has a back story and I doubt if it was lost.

Fortunately, Lee rewrote it completely and changed the characters and events (for example, the outcome of Tom Robinson's trial is different), creating one wonderful and unforgettable novel. You can read that version with the title To Kill a Mockingbird.

Publishing Go Set a Watchman is just a money-making stunt by the people who control Lee's estate. It is nowhere near as well-written as TKAM and doesn't have the same powerful characters. It's only of interest for those who want to study Lee's creative process. If you are just a regular fan of TKAM, do yourself a favor and skip this one.(less)
