Go Set A Watchman

2015 | Fiction & Poetry


Go Set a Watchman is set during the mid-1950s and features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Scout (Jean Louise Finch) has returned to Maycomb from New York to visit her father Atticus. She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand both her father's attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood. An instant classic.

Crushing and disappointing
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU LOVE TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.

That being said, the reason why Harper Lee completely falls short in this novel is the fact that she destroys the heroic images of the characters that we have grown to love.

Without saying more, once again this novel is written in the perspective of Scout who is now a young woman and much more independent and vocal about the civil rights movement. She learns that everything she loved and respected is actually very different to what she imagined, pulling down heroes from their pedestals.

I'm totally scarred reading this.

Totally agree. This was really an unnecessary sequel, so disappointing.

Yes! I wonder why Harper Lee chose to release this, and after all these years! I love Atticus Finch, this was a horrific comedown.

Not what I was hoping for at all. It's extremely political and destroys the readers images of our favourite characters from To Kill A Mockingbird.

I thought Wow, when I finished it and now I'm still processing it all. One thing I didn't like was some of the language, but other than that I liked it quite a bit - it was a bit more heavy reading than I've done in a little while.

So glad to have finished this! Read for Bookclub, but it was so dull I could easily have given up. That's several hours of my life I'll never get back and it was a very tedious book with no real plot. If it hadn't been by Harper Lee I doubt it would have been published.
