So much has been written about Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman, I
hesitate to even bother to review it here.
So I’ll be brief.
It’s 1955 and “Scout” Jean Louise Finch is now 26 years old and
has moved to New York. She comes home to
Alabama to visit her aging father, Atticus and learns he has more bigoted views
than she thought he did. They argue
about it and she decides she loves him anyway.
That’s it. There’s more plot in a
Kardashian reality TV show.
This is no To Kill a Mockingbird. In fact Harper Lee wrote it
before To Kill a Mockingbird and
thought it not worthy of being published.
She was right. Apparently someone very close to the now 89 year old Harper Lee needed some cash and knew
something about marketing. What a scam.
Dave, very disappointing, and on your recommendation, I'll let this one get by me.
