This is a first for me: I’m reblogging a post I haven’t actually read yet. I’m waiting until after I’ve read the book for myself. But that’s no reason why you shouldn’t read Aman’s review of the book. For more than a week now, all my posts (save the Mystery Monday meme) have had to do with Harper Lee. I hope you’ve been enjoying them and that you’ll also enjoy my Sunday reblog! ]]> By: Monthly Recap- July | CONFESSIONS OF A READAHOLIC http://readingbooks.blog/2015/07/19/book-review-go-set-a-watchman-by-harper-lee/#comment-5011 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 18:36:34 +0000 https://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=3085#comment-5011 […] BOOK REVIEW: Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee […] ]]> By: Lynn Reynolds http://readingbooks.blog/2015/07/19/book-review-go-set-a-watchman-by-harper-lee/#comment-5010 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:40:36 +0000 https://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=3085#comment-5010 I may have to give in and check it out! ]]> By: Aman(@amanhimself) http://readingbooks.blog/2015/07/19/book-review-go-set-a-watchman-by-harper-lee/#comment-5009 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 06:26:32 +0000 https://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=3085#comment-5009 since it published after TKAM, and the story takes us ahead instead, I consider it as a sequel. I think you should it give it a read, and make your own opinion. This book is more about Scout than Atticus Finch. ]]> By: Lynn Reynolds http://readingbooks.blog/2015/07/19/book-review-go-set-a-watchman-by-harper-lee/#comment-5008 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 19:00:17 +0000 https://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=3085#comment-5008 From everything I’ve read and heard in the publishing world, it sounds like Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft than a finished product. Like this was her starting point and an editor rejected it and suggested she tell a story about racism from a child’s point of view instead (which became To Kill a Mockingbird).

I’m tempted to read Go Set a Watchman, but I know I don’t want anyone reading MY first drafts, so I’ll probably skip it, despite all the talk about it. It could be interesting to see how much the story changed, but I feel sad that so many people are thinking of it as a sequel. I suspect looking at it that way will kind of tarnish their view of the Atticus they loved in Mockingbird.

One cannot ignore this fact! If I have to criticise someone or praise anyone, it is going to be the book and the author. ]]> By: Aman(@amanhimself) http://readingbooks.blog/2015/07/19/book-review-go-set-a-watchman-by-harper-lee/#comment-5004 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 10:37:16 +0000 https://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=3085#comment-5004 Take your time, and I hope when you plan to read it, you enjoy it. ]]> By: Aman(@amanhimself) http://readingbooks.blog/2015/07/19/book-review-go-set-a-watchman-by-harper-lee/#comment-5003 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 10:36:40 +0000 https://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=3085#comment-5003 Good to hear that you are loving it. ]]>
