Due to the circumstances behind this book's emergence and publication, it's hard to remain objective in its rating and review. Is GO SET A WATCHMAN as good as TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD? Of course not. The writing and characters are less developed, and the story lacks intrigue and build-up. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it. What a pleasure to see how Scout and Atticus evolved in their later years; what an honor to see how Harper Lee further envisioned Maycomb. GO SET A WATCHMAN is a great companion novel to TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. I would not recommend it as a stand-alone, as readers might find it lacking context and substance.
Stars: 3/5
Recommended for: Anyone who loved TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
