Go Set a Watchman

After reading To Kill a Mockingbird I was excited to read this one. However I was disappointed. It was a book, too long in some spots, that was (in a nutshell) Scout growing up at 26 years of age. She learns that sometimes people aren't who you think they are and that having a different opinion and way of life outside one's own is ok. Different era and time I suppose where a 26 year old doesn't already know this by that age.

I did a little research on this book and from what I found it seems this was actually written before TKAM. The writing style between these 2 books is astounding. Apparently Go Set a Watchman was rejected by publishers as she didn't have an editor. She came back with TKAM, editor in tow, and just wow. Huge difference. Goes to show editors can sometimes be an author's best friend
