The review basically says it shouldn't have been published. It has an excerpt of the first chapter, I found it boring. I'm wondering will this stir up the rumors again the Truman Capote had a lot to do with To Kill A Mockingbird.

Atticus Finch is a RACIST: Harper Lee's new Mockingbird 'sequel' Go Set a Watchman set to shock millions as it's revealed literary hero is a bigot who attends KKK meetings

Go Set A Watchman offers a startling take on an American literary saint, Atticus Finch

New novel set in the 1950s, 20 years after Harper Lee's celebrated To Kill a Mockingbird, finds Atticus hostile to the growing civil rights movement

Publisher HarperCollins said novel 'explores racism and changing attitudes in the South' in a 'bold and unflinching way'

Watchman was written before Mockingbird and is only Lee's second book which will be published on Tuesday

It looks like To Kill A Mockingbird has Truman Capote written all over it.
