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.
