Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

4.0

The reviews of this book that I saw prior to reading it made me quite nervous to see how one of my favorite literary characters, Atticus Finch, changed from a person with iron clad morals, to someone who became a "racist." However, after finishing the book, I now understand where both Scout and Atticus are coming from (regarding their conflicting interests), and how they are both so incredibly similar, and yet completely opposite, in personalities. Scout (or, I guess Jean Louise now) is so tenacious, and I could feel her anger and frustration while I was reading. Atticus has the same gentle nature that I grew to love when I first read To Kill a Mockingbird in 9th grade. I truly hope that Harper Lee wanted this book released, and wasn't pressured, as rumor has it. Go Set a Watchman is a beautiful novel and should be considered by any lover of To Kill a Mockingbird.
