Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. It's extremely accessible. I found the plot a little aimless at first, but from about a third of the way in I was hooked. I loved the flashbacks especially.
The overarching theme appears to be one of disillusionment, and readers hoping for a satisfactory resolution may be left feeling a bit lost (not that this was a problem for me). Many questions go unanswered.
I think it's important to see this book not as a sequel or a companion to Mockingbird, but as a first draft and a preserved work in progress. It felt very special to be back in Scout's world, seeing everything through a new lens.
