Go Set a Watchman

so many thoughts... for about 150 pages, I wondered what was the point and who the editor had been of the first book; basically, because it was reminiscences mostly, with the familiar voice Scout had, but without Jem and Dill around and with Henry and aunt Alexandra playing a major role.
at this point, I read somewhere that this hadn't been written as a sequel; it actually had been the first book to be submitted, and the (very smart, I think) editors suggested Ms Lee exploit some passages and angles and rewrote it.
well, whereas To kill a mockingbird has a genuine, tomboy and pungent voice, Go set a watchman portrays a Jean Louise that, at 26, still has a lot of Scout in her: she sees Maycombe as her true world, even if she lives in NY, but at the same time she can't accept the place totally. And mostly, after the aforementioned page 150, or so, the book is, more than about race or creed, about a girl deconstructing her dad: Mr Finch may or may not be a horrible person after all.honestly, I am not completely sure. I understand it was 1955 and Alabama, but I cringed in embarrassment at the whole of mankind many times when they started discussing “Negroes” and “their” rights. at the same time, as I said, even leaning towards Jean's views, I don't think this is what the book is about.
Electra lives, ladies and gentleman...

anyway, as far as my opinion is concerned, it got blindsided by the fact that TKAM had pre teens as the main voices and I am openly partial to them. also, as the smart editor predicted, it was much more sellable (is that a word ?) because it had to do with discovering the world, justice and weak versus strong. This book is good, but not so amazing.
