 I don't think I would have read this if my book club hadn't selected it, since I'm not convinced Harper Lee wanted it published. That being said, I'll approach the review from two angles. 
 First, the writing itself. Apparently this is a first draft. That would explain the lack of flow at times, the inconsistent structure, and the rambling flashbacks. I would have liked more active scenes with Jean Louise and her father. Plus, I didn't feel Atticus's character was developed much at all. But again, with more revision, I suspect these things would have been addressed. 
 As for the thematic elements, the premise centers around the The Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision and the NCAAP's involvement in Maycomb, Alabama. It's no spoiler we learn Atticus is racist. But I finished the book thinking the whole lot was prejudiced. Jean Louise was just more polite and less overt with hers than her father and the rest of the community was. Not to mention the classism. But it was written mid-century, and I guess its conclusion has to be taken as such. But I thought the issue of learning her father--a man she'd idolized--was not who she thought he was, was well explored. 
 It was an okay read. But were I new to both books, I'd recommend reading To Kill A Mockingbird first. Go Set a Watchman risks tainting one's view of Mockingbird otherwise.
