Celebrate Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month with These Great Books
Max de Freitas asked this question about Go Set a Watchman:
Was it really written by Harper Lee? Readers might be able to tell. Either way, it will make millions for her lawyer and the publisher.

The draft story line obviously had holes in it that were filled by a writer or group of writers at the publisher's request (Most obvious: Jem's life and death is so superficially treated). I consider To Kill A Mockingbird among the great American novels, although I haven't read it 50 times. The character of Atticus is so different from To Kill A Mockingbird, it would have been better for Harper Lee's ghost writers to have let him die an early death, too. Then we could have read about Scout without having the personalities of Jem, Dill and Atticus invade this nearly unrelated novel. But then, few would have read or enjoyed this novel without the name Harper Lee on it. I hope she isn't too saddened by this flimsy, poorly written imitation.(less)
