About this listen
Go Set a Watchman is set during the mid-1950s and features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some 20 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.

So-so story, but Reese Witherspoon made the best of it
Definitely opt for the audible version of this book because while the story can get lost in its meandering, Reese makes the most of it and brings it to life. Thank you Reese

Slightly heartbreaking
To Kill a Mockingbird is my #1 favourite book. Go set a watchman is a far cry from it.
There are moments when the reader gets a glimpse of Ms Lee’s brilliance, but for the most part it was absent.
I’d hoped for so much more.

At best it's a good draft of a novel.
I didn't love it. I am still trying to decide exactly how I feel about it.
The only real emotional depth, in this story, relies on the reader having read To Kill a Mockingbird. To feel Scout's horror and loss, you have to have known what kind of a man Atticus was. Other than that you just have to take it as given. There's very little outlining or development of character.
The claim that to Kill a Mockingbird was written after this book does not feel right to me.
There are some great parts in this story, but it's not what it could have been. And it just makes me wonder what it could have been, it could have been magnificent, whenever it was written.

Better than to Kill a Mockingbird
This book is down to earth assessment of the politics of racism in today's world.
