Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

3.0

Not sure I really liked this novel. It started out OK, as Scout returns to Maycomb, and we learned a little bit of what happened in the years since To Kill A Mockingbird. But just a little -- we know Scout moved to New York City, but the book never tells us what she actually does. Once again, she is the narrator.

She comes home for a visit, and discovers something about Atticus she doesn't like. Then the books gets all preachy on us. Neither her arguments, nor the arguments of Atticus and his brother, Dr. Finch, make a lot of sense. Scout goes all emotional and hysterical on us.

The book is quick read, but it's kind of empty, and a disappointment.
